What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and growth, focusing on compliance and risk management.

I am a dedicated AML and Fraud Investigator with extensive experience in both fintech and traditional banking environments. My expertise lies in identifying suspicious activities and preparing regulatory reports, such as Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), while ensuring compliance with BSA, OFAC, and FinCEN guidelines. I pride myself on my sound judgment and collaborative approach to risk mitigation, which has earned me the trust of my colleagues and clients alike.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed high-volume caseloads and maintained data integrity in investigative documentation. My role as an AML Analyst at Matrix IFS has further honed my skills in monitoring cross-border transactions and drafting comprehensive SARs. Previously, at Coinbase, I investigated complex on-chain transaction flows, utilizing blockchain analytics to uncover obfuscation techniques and support SAR filings. My background in KYC processes and client relationship management has equipped me with a well-rounded perspective on the financial landscape.
