What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a KYC, AML, or corporate compliance role where I can apply identity verification and customer due diligence, audit transaction activity, and ensure GDPR-aligned records and data privacy compliance while continuing CIPP/E and NCI growth.

I’m a detail-oriented legal and administrative professional with 6+ years of experience supporting compliance workflows, documentation integrity, and records management. Trained by the Basel Institute on Governance in suspicious transaction analysis and by Anqa Compliance Training in AML regulatory frameworks, I focus on identity verification, customer due diligence, and data privacy compliance across legal and operational settings.

Based in the Netherlands, I execute onboarding with direct identity verification under GDPR standards, audit transaction logs and guest/profile databases for discrepancies, and maintain audit-ready records. I also strengthened internal administrative processes—reducing workflow errors by an estimated 30%—and generate risk-mitigation data for management. I’m currently pursuing CIPP/E and NCI to deepen expertise toward a KYC, AML, or Corporate Compliance Analyst role.
