What I'm looking for

I am seeking a Senior Financial Fraud Investigator role where I can apply fraud detection, loss mitigation, loan origination, reconciliation and team leadership experience to reduce losses and strengthen compliance.

I am a seasoned financial fraud investigator with extensive banking and mortgage experience, focused on detecting income, occupancy and document misrepresentation, identity theft, account takeover and varied consumer fraud schemes. I routinely collaborate with law enforcement and adult protective services and am proficient in filing SARs.

I have a strong background in loss mitigation, investor guideline interpretation and loan origination, and I have handled FHA/VA and private investor liquidation decisions. I managed HHF/EHLP operations and reconciliations, trained negotiators, and consistently delivered top performance as a loan officer in the Dayton market.

I lead through coaching, process control and detailed financial reconciliation to reduce losses and improve compliance, and I bring owner-operator experience managing operations, staff hiring and product fulfillment.
