@vanessaedokpayi
I investigate fraud, strengthen controls, and turn data patterns into action.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Mission Lane, I monitor transaction and customer activity to detect fraud, abuse, and high-risk behavior, using investigation tools such as LexisNexis to verify identities and assess claims.
Previously at Discover, I reviewed flagged transactions, chargebacks, and disputes, recommended account actions, and helped improve fraud detection accuracy through trend analysis and process insights. At Ally, I led quality assurance and compliance reviews, analyzed web-based reports, and prepared audit findings and corrective-action recommendations.
I'm continuing my cybersecurity and information assurance education while bringing a data-driven approach to fraud prevention, compliance, investigations, documentation, and cross-functional risk operations.
