What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining AML/compliance and financial analytics, with opportunities to use software skills and contribute to process improvement and training.

I am an AML and financial analyst with experience across banking compliance, reporting, and software development. I have conducted holistic account reviews, written SARs, handled regulatory filings, and supported fraud and anti-money-laundering operations while maintaining strict adherence to the Bank Secrecy Act and related regulations.

I also bring experience in financial reporting and analytics, application development (C#, .NET, JavaScript, SQL), and higher-education instruction in economics and mathematics. I hold a Master of Arts in Economics, multiple management and Scrum/Six Sigma certifications, and a demonstrated focus on student success and process improvement.
