Noor Khan
@noorkhan1
Compliance and anti-money laundering intern focused on KYC, screening, and regulatory research.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Compliance Intern with a strong focus on anti-money laundering and compliance operations, including KYC checks, onboarding sign-offs, and tracking screening alerts for adverse media, PEP connections, and sanctions. I also research international, domestic, and foreign AML regulations while maintaining periodic review targets and a risk register.
Earlier, I supported legal work through a Legal Intern role at Afridi & Angell Law Firm—conducting due diligence, drafting memorandums, and writing engagement letters, with exposure to UAE free zones (DIFC, ADGM, and RAKEZ) and topics including charities, immigration, employment, and corporate matters. I’m also an accredited anti-money laundering professional (ACAMS) and a certified NLP/Timeline Therapy practitioner, bringing clear, articulate communication and critical thinking to every task.
