What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values ethics and integrity, offers opportunities for professional growth, and allows me to leverage my forensic expertise to combat fraud and enhance compliance.

I am a Certified Fraud Examiner with over three years of professional experience in Forensic Services and Fraud Detection. My work has involved complex investigations into fraud, bribery, corruption, and financial crime, as well as compliance with AML/CTF/KYC regulations. I hold an MSc in Forensic Accounting from the University of Portsmouth, where I graduated with Distinction, and I have contributed to the field through a peer-reviewed publication in the Journal of Economic Criminology.

Currently, I serve as a Senior Consultant in Forensic Services at BDO Luxembourg, where I lead investigations into non-compliance and misconduct, assess fraud risks, and support junior staff in project management. My previous experience as a Fraud Detection Agent at Etraveli Group allowed me to resolve thousands of suspicious transactions, significantly reducing fraud risk across multiple countries. I am passionate about ethics and integrity in my work, striving to make a positive impact in the field of forensic accounting.
