What I'm looking for

I seek a role focused on identity verification and fraud prevention where I can reduce chargebacks, improve processes, mentor teammates, and collaborate cross-functionally.

I am an identity fraud prevention specialist who reviews flagged accounts, analyzes fraud patterns, and investigates account activity to reduce risk and protect platforms. I represent departments professionally when communicating with internal and external customers and escalate issues to increase system and process efficiency.

My background includes minimizing chargebacks, detecting money laundering, collusion, and fraud rings, and handling document and video verification processes. I earned Orbis Risk Most Improved Agent awards in 2015 and 2016 and consistently meet quality and quantity performance standards.
