What I'm looking for

I seek a compliance/risk role where I can apply AML/KYC and transaction monitoring expertise, contribute to stronger controls, mentor juniors, and collaborate with regulators.

I am a dedicated compliance and risk management specialist with hands-on experience in AML/KYC, transaction monitoring, regulatory reporting, and designing compliance frameworks to protect financial institutions. I have contributed to risk assessments, investigations, and the implementation of controls while mentoring junior staff and liaising with regulators.

My background includes roles across banking and fintech where I analyzed threats to economic security, produced concise reports for management and regulators, and supported audits and remediation efforts. I bring strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a proactive commitment to upholding regulatory standards and organizational integrity.
