What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my compliance expertise while fostering a collaborative and growth-oriented environment.

I am a dedicated KYC/AML Compliance Officer with over a decade of experience in the financial services industry. My journey began at Bank of America, where I honed my skills in fraud analysis and compliance. I then transitioned to Citigroup, where I specialized in screening and investigating high-risk accounts, ensuring adherence to regulatory standards. My role at JPMorgan Chase further solidified my expertise, as I conducted comprehensive reviews of laws and regulations, liaised with clients, and acted as a senior escalation point for KYC-related issues.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to analyze data trends, identify root causes, and provide actionable insights to enhance compliance processes. I take pride in my role as a subject matter expert in KYC/AML, leading various projects and training initiatives to foster a culture of compliance within my teams. My commitment to excellence and my proactive approach to risk management have consistently contributed to the success of the organizations I have worked with.
