What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for growth in risk management and fraud prevention.

I am a dedicated finance professional with a strong academic background, holding a B.Sc. in Finance with Honours from Université de Montréal, where I graduated with a 3.9 GPA. My journey in the finance sector has been marked by a commitment to excellence and a passion for risk management, particularly in fraud prevention.

Currently, I serve as a Fraud Prevention Manager at Laurentian Bank, where I lead initiatives to assess and mitigate fraud risks. My role involves extracting and analyzing data using tools like SAS and SQL to develop actionable insights that support business objectives. I have successfully minimized application fraud losses through strategic implementations and project management leadership, ensuring the timely execution of key milestones.

Previously, I worked as a Senior Fraud Risk Analyst at Binance, where I monitored fraud management strategies and collaborated with various stakeholders to enhance fraud detection processes. My experience also includes credit risk analysis at Desjardins Financial Group, where I provided a comprehensive view of the risk profile to management. I am eager to leverage my skills and experience to contribute to innovative solutions in the finance industry.
