My role spans trading activity validation, adverse media screening, site due diligence, and risk escalation reporting, working closely with global compliance teams to ensure accuracy and regulatory alignment.Beyond compliance, I bring a background in leadership and stakeholder engagement. As the founder of Froh Canis (NGO) and through roles with Under25, Viral Fission, and cultural foundations, I’ve led initiatives in community building, resource management, and outreach, giving me the ability to balance analytical precision with people-focused collaboration.Outside of work, I pursue photography, cinematography, video editing, and graphic design. These creative passions sharpen my ability to communicate visually, approach problems from fresh perspectives, and pay attention to detail — strengths I also apply in my professional work.I’m particularly interested in how financial crime risk management safeguards markets and institutions, and I aim to grow into roles where I can contribute to global banking, markets, and corporate access initiatives, combining regulatory expertise with creativity and strategic insight.
