At PayPal, I own the risk and control inventory across Global Financial Crimes & Customer Protection and Global Fraud Prevention, covering more than 600 controls. I built an AI-powered automation tool that removed 5+ hours of manual testing work per cycle and used AI to accelerate review of 100+ SOPs.

I've spent nearly a decade investigating financial crime across PayPal, PwC, Bank of the West, and Transamerica. My work spans AML investigations, EDD/KYC, BSA/AML risk assessments, SAR support, transaction monitoring, internal audit, fraud analysis, control testing, and mentoring AML teams of 10+ analysts.
