What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior risk role at a high-growth, product-focused company where I can lead fraud prevention, apply analytics to reduce loss, improve onboarding, and grow into strategic leadership within a collaborative, data-driven culture.

I am an experienced risk management professional with 5+ years focused on fraud prevention, financial risk analysis, and strategic operations at high-growth technology companies.

At SimplePractice I drove measurable business impact — maintaining a fraud rate of .007%, generating $250k+ in monthly revenue growth, and reducing new account verification from 42 days to 1.2 days while serving as Senior Risk Analyst & Strategic Lead.

I combine technical proficiency across enterprise fraud platforms (Stripe, Kount, Sift) and data visualization tools (Tableau, Periscope) with hands-on operational execution; I trained six analysts, minimized knowledge gaps, and partnered closely with Security, Compliance, Finance, and Data teams.

I hold FINRA Series 6 & SIE certifications and Merchant Risk Council credentials, and I deliver strategic planning, process optimization, and cross-functional collaboration to reduce risk, improve onboarding, and maintain exceptional customer satisfaction.
