What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills in compliance and risk management, offers opportunities for growth, and values innovation in financial services.

I am a meticulous and adaptable Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Risk Management professional with extensive experience in Banking, Financial Services, Risk Management, and Regulatory Compliance. My expertise lies in identifying, addressing, and mitigating financial crime risks, focusing on AML program implementation, regulatory reporting, and transaction monitoring.

Throughout my career, I have proven my ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive process improvements and manage escalations. At Goldman Sachs, I led a team in managing Federal Reserve settlement processes, enhancing operational resilience through regulatory compliance and strategic partnerships. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my successful initiatives that reduced processing times and improved compliance frameworks.

With a strong educational background in Finance & Economics and International Studies, I am dedicated to fostering innovation and regulatory excellence across financial services. I thrive in environments that challenge my analytical skills and allow me to contribute to organizational integrity and efficiency.
