What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters growth in compliance and regulatory affairs, emphasizing collaboration and innovation.

With over 5 years of experience in crypto compliance and investigations, I have honed my skills in regulatory onboarding, suspicious transaction reporting (STR) handling, and high-risk transaction review. My expertise in AML/CFT frameworks, due diligence, and sanctions checks has allowed me to navigate complex compliance inquiries with speed and accuracy. I take pride in my ability to build STR automation tools and investigate blockchain transactions using Chainalysis, which has significantly enhanced operational efficiency.

In my current role as a Compliance & Operations Associate, I prepare board meeting packages, conduct corporate due diligence, and manage compliance calendars to ensure timely regulatory filings. My previous experience as a Compliance Analyst at VirgoCX Inc. involved investigating high-risk transactions and developing internal training programs that reduced backlog by 45%. I am passionate about improving compliance processes and ensuring organizations meet regulatory standards while fostering a culture of integrity and accountability.
