What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my compliance expertise while fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment.

I am a meticulous and motivated compliance professional with over 5 years of experience in financial crime prevention, regulatory compliance, and risk consultancy within a major financial institution. My strong foundation in Anti-Money Laundering (AML), KYC/KYB, PEP/Sanctions screening, and Transaction Monitoring has equipped me to effectively engage with stakeholders on sensitive and time-critical projects.

Currently, as a Financial Crime Analyst at Phoenix Group, I conduct in-depth Enhanced Due Diligence Risk Assessments and have developed a deep knowledge of various screening tools. I take pride in my ability to design and deliver training on new processes, ensuring my team is well-equipped to handle compliance challenges. My commitment to continuous learning is reflected in my ICA Advanced Certificate in AML, which I achieved with distinction, and I am passionate about strengthening Financial Crime frameworks and processes.
