What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration and offers opportunities for professional growth in financial crime investigation.

I am an experienced Financial Crime Investigator with a strong background in reporting suspicious activities and conducting thorough risk assessments. My proficiency in analyzing complex financial data has allowed me to ensure regulatory compliance while collaborating effectively with law enforcement agencies to mitigate financial risks. Throughout my career, I have developed a keen ability to identify patterns and trends consistent with money laundering and organized crime, which has been instrumental in my investigations.

In my recent role as a Financial Crime Analyst at Tide, I investigated customer account activity to detect potential money laundering risks and drafted comprehensive reports summarizing unusual activities. My previous experience as a Fraud Analyst at Kraken involved conducting end-to-end investigations into cryptocurrency-related scams, utilizing advanced tools to analyze on-chain data and understand user behavior. I have consistently demonstrated sound judgment in navigating complex, high-risk decisions, driving investigations to timely conclusions.
