What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead fraud investigations, strengthen AML and risk controls, and communicate clear recommendations to stakeholders—using my investigation experience, reporting skills, and attention to detail to protect the organization.

I’m a risk management specialist with 5 years of corporate experience, focused on investigations, internal audit-related work, and handling complex, confidential data. I’m passionate about turning critical findings into clear recommendations for stakeholders.

At First National Financial LP, I investigated potential fraudulent mortgage applications, completed onboarding reviews and quality assessments, and reviewed daily application reports to determine when Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) was required. I maintained and documented suspected fraud cases, wrote summary reports for internal and external partners, and collaborated with teams to improve fraud investigation and prevention strategies, while adhering to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements. I also have experience in both administrative activities as well as financial controls.
