United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Risk Analyst with 7+ years in the financial services and payments industry, including 5 years with WePay (a Chase company). I focus on underwriting, fraud detection and prevention, high-risk account management, and compliance—bringing sharp analytical thinking and meticulous attention to detail to every investigation.
I’ve led 1099-K processing, outreach, and amendment workflows prior to IRS submission, and I support legal operations by partnering with counsel to respond to subpoenas and law enforcement requests. I also bring strong cross-functional collaboration and operational rigor, whether I’m monitoring transaction risk exposure or maintaining accurate records to ensure compliance with state and federal requirements.
