What I'm looking for

I seek a compliance role where I can lead AML/KYC programs, improve controls and reporting, mentor staff, and support regulatory readiness in a collaborative, growth-focused team.

I am a compliance specialist with progressive experience in AML, KYC, transaction monitoring and regulatory reporting across corporate, fund and trust structures.

I have led KYC reviews, drafted compliance checklists and procedures, completed FATCA/CRS reporting, and trained and supervised junior staff while improving tracking systems and controls.

My achievements include drafting approved KYC checklists, identifying high‑risk client issues via enhanced screening, implementing Excel-based tracking solutions, and completing time-critical compliance submissions that improved oversight and reduced regulatory exposure.
