What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply AML-focused analytical skills—monitoring, investigating, and escalating risk with strong compliance and quality—while continuing to bring structured, people-aware operational support.

I bring a blend of analytical and operations experience, with my most recent work focused on monitoring transactional activity for potential suspicious activity. As an Associate Analyst I, I interpret and implement client operating policies and escalate red flags for second level review.

I’m detail-driven in how I spot and document risk. I identify data anomalies and concerns related to money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, and sanctions violations, while adhering to designated timeframes, production, and quality standards.

Alongside compliance work, I’ve managed day-to-day accounting operations as an Accounting Manager. I oversaw accounts payable/receivable, payroll processing, general ledger entries, and prepared monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reports for management review.

Earlier in my career, I built strong patient-facing and administrative skills as a Medical Assistant and in clinical support roles. Across settings, I coordinated patient flow, maintained accurate records in EMR/EHR systems, and supported providers to keep work efficient, organized, and patient-centered.
