What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and ethical practices in compliance, allowing me to leverage my expertise in risk management and data analysis.

I am an accomplished compliance risk professional with extensive experience in regulatory analysis, ethical AI integration, and financial product oversight. My expertise includes developing testing frameworks, enforcing internal controls, and advising on legal and ethical data usage. I have been recognized for building robust compliance programs in high-regulation environments and applying data-driven strategies to minimize risk and enhance governance.

In my most recent role as a Quality Control Specialist at Outlier, I established a systematic, evidence-based framework to standardize sentence-level accuracy evaluations, significantly enhancing quality assurance processes. Previously, as a Senior Manager at Figure, I led comprehensive reviews of machine learning credit scoring models, improving data integrity scores by 35% and ensuring compliance with evolving regulatory standards. My career has been marked by a commitment to excellence and a passion for leveraging data to drive compliance and risk management initiatives.
