What I'm looking for

I seek a compliance or regulatory role where I can apply AML, transaction monitoring and regulatory reporting expertise, work cross-functionally, and grow in a collaborative, process-driven team.

I am a detail-oriented regulatory reporting and anti-money laundering specialist with five years of experience supporting financial institutions in regulatory submissions, AML, transaction monitoring, KYC/EDD and risk-based controls. I have prepared and submitted regulatory reports, maintained compliance with applicable EU legislation and coordinated data corrections and communications with competent authorities.

I have worked hands-on analyzing large datasets to identify in-scope payment transactions, validating XML technical requirements, and assisting internal and external audits. In AML roles I monitored transactions, investigated alerts (RFI/SAR), performed due diligence, sanctions screening and complex research to confirm matches against global lists.

I combine strong analytical thinking, attention to detail and organizational skills with fluency in Italian, Spanish and English. I have contributed to process and methodology development, cross-department collaboration with BI teams, and volunteered on national reforestation and employer-branding initiatives.
