Diligent financial crime investigator with a strong analytical mindset.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I am a diligent and hardworking individual with a strong background in financial crime investigation and compliance. My experience at Monzo Bank involved conducting transaction monitoring and producing detailed reviews to identify suspicious activities. I take pride in my effective interpersonal communication skills, which allow me to make a positive impact through my work. My investigative nature drives me to dive deep into problems, ensuring that I approach issues thoughtfully and find effective solutions.
My academic background includes an MSc in Entrepreneurship and Business Development and a BA in International Business, both from Leeds Beckett University. I achieved high grades and actively participated in university life, serving as a Student Representative and winning a Business Model Competition. My studies have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the banking and anti-money laundering landscapes, which I applied during my professional roles.
In addition to my investigative roles, I have experience as a Legal Assistant and a Shift Supervisor, where I honed my skills in caseload management, compliance, and team leadership. I am now seeking new opportunities that align with my career ambitions and values, where I can continue to grow and contribute to the field of financial crime prevention.
