What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth in compliance and risk management, emphasizing teamwork and innovation.

I am a dedicated Risk Management and Compliance professional with extensive experience in Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures, and fraud prevention. My career has been marked by a commitment to excellence in transaction monitoring and investigations, where I have successfully identified and mitigated risks associated with financial crimes. I have a strong background in financial technology, which has enabled me to implement effective compliance strategies across various sectors.

At Chipper Technologies, I took the initiative to escalate and investigate identity fraud, leading to the detection of multiple fraud rings and significant cost savings for the company. My role as a Senior Financial Crime and Crypto Analyst involved conducting complex investigations and training teams on product risk assessment, which has notably reduced false positives in transaction monitoring. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to enhance compliance frameworks and contribute to the overall integrity of financial systems.
