What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to lead teams and drive compliance initiatives while fostering a collaborative and growth-oriented environment.

I am an experienced professional with over 12 years in BSA/AML, dedicated to leveraging my analytical skills and leadership abilities to support institutions in navigating complex regulatory environments. My journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of BSA regulations, KYC, and EDD policies, making me a valuable asset in any compliance-focused role.

Currently, I serve as a Manager at Standard Chartered, where I oversee investigative processes and ensure quality assurance in compliance investigations. My previous roles at Citibank and JPMorgan Chase have honed my skills in managing teams, conducting thorough investigations, and providing strategic guidance to enhance operational efficiency. I am passionate about mentoring new team members and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

With a strong foundation in financial investigations and a commitment to excellence, I am eager to embrace new challenges that allow me to contribute to the success of my organization while furthering my professional growth.
