What I'm looking for

I want to leverage my validations and forensics experience to strengthen advanced fraud prevention and AML outcomes—improving accuracy, compliance, and loan processing efficiency while collaborating with fraud experts across the financial sector.

I’m an experienced Validations Assessor focused on forensics and fraud prevention within the banking environment. In my current role, I monitor and analyze loan applications to identify potential fraud, and I coordinate thorough security checks with relevant entities such as bureaus and other financial institutions.

I’ve built a strong foundation in fraud detection, risk analysis, and quality assurance techniques. I prepare comprehensive records in standardized formats to support effective fraud investigations, compare transaction records with supporting documents, and run detection processes aligned to identified fraud event categories.

Before forensics, I worked as a Validations Assessor : Credit, ensuring accuracy of document data while adhering to AML and Anti-Fraud Policies and insurance guidelines. I also monitored and adapted to changes in Policy & Procedure guidelines, assessed affordability metrics, and maintained compliance while consistently meeting deadlines.

I’m especially proud of improving loan processing efficiency by introducing a new centralized application process. I bring strong communication, analytical problem-solving, and professional relationship management, and I’m actively pursuing opportunities to leverage my validations experience to support advanced fraud prevention strategies across the financial sector.
