What I'm looking for
I am a highly skilled Financial Crimes Senior Analyst with extensive experience in anti-money laundering (AML), fraud investigations, and mortgage operations.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated strong investigative skills in detecting fraudulent behavior, including identity theft and document manipulation. I am proficient in using AML and fraud detection systems to assess risk and support regulatory compliance. My collaborative approach has allowed me to work effectively with cross-functional teams to strengthen internal controls and reduce financial crime exposure.

I am committed to upholding regulatory standards and continuously improving processes to enhance compliance and operational efficiency.
