What I'm looking for

I’m looking to deepen my AML, sanctions compliance, and payment screening expertise while driving continuous improvement—using risk-based analysis, high-quality reporting, and strong internal controls to protect the business and optimize case operations.

I’m a Senior Analyst in Global Compliance and AML at Scotiabank, specializing in the analysis of payment screening alerts to ensure compliance with international sanctions regulations. I’m recognized for attention to detail, critical thinking, and delivering accurate results in fast-paced, high-volume environments.

I bring strong analytical and decision-making capabilities to support sanctions compliance and mitigate financial and operational risks through sound analysis and effective internal controls. I prepare clear, structured reports using a risk-based approach, consistently delivering productivity levels exceeding 110% and a sustained 100% quality score.

Before my current role, I served as an Enhanced Monitoring Analyst, where I collaborated with business lines on high-impact projects to improve operations, productivity, and effectiveness. I helped implement thresholds and investigation logic for reconciliation, driving an 80% improvement in operational efficiency, while ensuring quality and security standards were met.

I also developed a strong customer and sales foundation through roles in Customer Care and Advisor Sales, strengthening my ability to handle inquiries, resolve escalations, and communicate clearly with stakeholders. I bring a proactive, continuous improvement mindset, supporting process optimization through targeted recommendations and curated lists that improve service efficiency.
