What I'm looking for

I'm seeking AML, financial crime, compliance, or risk roles where I can apply EDD, KYC, sanctions, transaction monitoring, QA, and team leadership experience while continuing to grow my SQL and risk-reporting capabilities.

I've supported AML and risk operations for PwC on Morgan Stanley engagements, Accenture supporting Citibank, Citibank, and Western Union. I review high-risk EDD profiles, complex ownership structures, KYC files, sanctions exposure, and cross-border financial crime risks.

I've maintained 100% QA results across KYC, EDD, and sanctions work, led an EDD Quality Control team above a 95% quality score, and trained new analysts for live casework and audits. As a bilingual English/Spanish SME, I also draft SAR/UAR narratives, conduct transaction monitoring, support UAT releases, and use SQL to strengthen risk reporting and scenario testing.
