What I'm looking for

I'm looking for work in regulatory compliance, legal operations, or financial crime investigations where I can manage complex cases, support AML and due diligence teams, and help maintain strong compliance standards.

At Uphold, I manage regulatory compliance work involving court orders, subpoenas, search warrants, garnishments, levies, and strict legal deadlines.

I review compliance complaints and legal threats, investigate scam and account takeover reports, and partner with AML FIU and Due Diligence teams to help keep the organization secure and compliant.

Previously, I monitored transactions, assessed customer and transaction risk, investigated potential money laundering and fraud, and prepared suspicious activity reports. My earlier visual merchandising work strengthened my organization, attention to detail, teamwork, and customer experience focus.
