AML Team Lead at Coinbase investigating high-risk crypto cases with blockchain analytics and regulatory filings.

United States

Message

At Coinbase, I lead investigators handling high-risk financial crime cases and analyze complex cryptocurrency transactions using blockchain analytics. I also perform Continuing Activity Reviews and manage enhanced due diligence and sanctions reviews.

At Morgan Stanley, I managed analysts conducting enhanced due diligence for higher-risk clients and accounts. I reviewed client risk rankings and corporate structures, and used DDIQ, C-LINK, and RDC to support due diligence searches.

Across AML and compliance roles, I’ve investigated suspicious activity, supported transaction monitoring and regulatory filings, and conducted quality assurance reviews. My experience includes cryptocurrency, marijuana-related businesses, KYC remediation, sanctions screening, and BSA/AML compliance; I’m CAMS certified.
