What I'm looking for

I seek a compliance-focused role where I can lead AML investigations, improve monitoring controls, mentor teams, and work within a collaborative, regulatory-driven environment.

I am an AML and fraud investigator with 8+ years protecting financial institutions through KYC, CDD/EDD, sanctions screening, and transaction monitoring across wires, ACH, card, and cross-border activity.

I lead end-to-end investigations from alert triage and forensic analysis to SAR drafting and regulator-ready narratives, and I have implemented risk-based AML programs and monitoring systems that improved detection and compliance.

I am skilled with Actimize, SAS, LexisNexis, Documentum, NICE, Oracle Mantas, World-Check and banking operational tools; I consistently exceed quality and productivity benchmarks while communicating clearly with stakeholders and driving process improvements.
