What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that enhances risk management processes and supports organizational goals.

I am a proactive and adaptable compliance professional with extensive experience in risk management, audit, and compliance advisory. My strong ability to assess and address regulatory challenges has allowed me to contribute effectively to policy development and provide valuable insights that enhance business operations. Known for my problem-solving skills, I thrive in environments where I can analyze complex issues and develop effective solutions.

Currently, I am a compliance intern at ABSA Kenya, where I contribute to the development of the bank's DEI-Generational Diversity Roadmap and assist in conducting monthly KYC audits. My previous experience as an AML/CFT trainee compliance associate at Konformitas Consulting LTD in Mauritius has equipped me with a solid understanding of auditing clients' AML/CFT policies and controls. I am eager to apply my skills in a dynamic role that allows me to improve risk management processes and support organizational goals.
