What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in a creative environment that fosters growth.

I am a curious and detail-oriented professional with a strong background in customer support, compliance, and event coordination. Currently, I work as a KYC Analyst at OKX (formerly Okcoin), where I conduct customer due diligence and enhanced due diligence reviews, assess risk indicators, and ensure compliance with AML and regulatory requirements. My role requires strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to make sound risk-based decisions in a fast-paced environment.

Alongside my compliance experience, I have hands-on experience coordinating events at Camilleri’s Old Piggery, ensuring smooth operations and delivering a positive guest experience. Earlier in my career, I worked in customer-facing roles including Everyday Banking Agent at HSBC UK and Social Media Customer Support, where I contributed to process improvements, reduced response times, and supported team onboarding and training.

I am passionate about continuous learning and professional development, particularly in the areas of AML, crypto compliance, and emerging technologies, and I thrive in roles that combine structure, responsibility, and problem-solving.
