What I'm looking for

I returned to the workforce in February 2024, transitioning into BSA/AML compliance and financial crimes investigations.

At U.S. Bank, I investigate unusual financial activity across ACH, checks, payment cards, and wires, using customer profiles, KYC information, and account histories to assess potential money-laundering risk.

I write SAR narratives and complete SAR documentation in NICE Actimize, investigate continuing suspicious activity, review CTRs, and document risk-based SAR/no-SAR decisions. I also use adverse media and open-source research to support my findings.

Earlier in my career, I managed fraud monitoring technology and detection rules at Advance Auto Parts, including Accertify implementation and custom rule development. At Digital River, I led fraud agents monitoring transactions and emerging fraud patterns.
