Results-driven fraud investigator with 7+ years of experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated fraud investigator with over seven years of experience in fraud detection, compliance auditing, and regulatory research. My career has been marked by a proven track record of identifying suspicious activities and safeguarding sensitive information within complex federal programs. I excel in policy interpretation, risk assessment, and stakeholder communication, which has allowed me to contribute effectively to fraud mitigation strategies in high-stakes environments.
In my current role as a Legal Administrative Specialist at the United States Social Security Administration, I ensure adherence to the Social Security Act and other federal regulations while processing and authorizing benefits. My efforts have led to significant productivity increases, processing over 25 cases daily, and successfully leading a team to reduce a backlog of over 300 cases. I am committed to maintaining data security and privacy compliance, ensuring that sensitive beneficiary information is handled with the utmost care.
My educational background includes a Juris Doctor from Thomas Goode Jones School of Law, where I honed my legal research and compliance skills. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise in fraud detection and regulatory compliance to drive positive outcomes in my future endeavors.
