What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values compliance and offers opportunities for professional growth in a collaborative environment.

I am an experienced AML Associate with a strong background in anti-money laundering, financial crime risk, and regulatory compliance. My career has been marked by a commitment to excellence in high-volume financial environments, where I have successfully conducted end-to-end investigations and drafted Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs). I take pride in enhancing KYC/CDD processes in alignment with FATF, PCMLTFA, and FINTRAC expectations, demonstrating a proactive approach to detecting suspicious activity and improving internal controls.

At Keystone Bank, I monitored over 500 daily transactions, identifying unusual behaviors linked to money laundering and terrorist financing. My efforts led to the filing of more than 30 SARs, ensuring compliance with AML regulations. I have also led risk assessments that cut compliance risk by 15% and delivered training sessions that improved staff onboarding and awareness. My certifications, including ACA, CBAP, and DCP, along with my ongoing pursuit of CISA, reflect my dedication to continuous professional development and enhancing my audit capabilities.
