What I'm looking for

I am looking for a remote role that allows me to lead compliance initiatives and drive regulatory excellence.

I am a strategic AML Compliance Supervisor with over 18 years of experience in banking and fintech. My career has been marked by a commitment to reducing regulatory risk and improving alert quality, which has been pivotal in training high-performing investigation teams. I have extensive experience in SAR filings, OFAC and FinCEN compliance, and cross-functional collaboration, which has enabled me to contribute significantly to the organizations I've worked with.

Currently, I serve as the Director of Compliance at Urban Marketing of America, where I lead all regulatory compliance initiatives and ensure alignment with applicable laws and internal standards. My role involves designing compliance policies, managing internal investigations, and preparing regulatory reporting. I am passionate about fostering a culture of ethical awareness and regulatory understanding through comprehensive training programs for staff.

As I pursue my CAMS certification, I am seeking a fully remote compliance leadership or investigative role where I can leverage my expertise to contribute immediate value and drive compliance excellence.
