I am a Senior Fraud, AML, and Sanctions Compliance professional with over 11 years of progressive experience across banking and Big-4 consulting, supporting high-risk, high-volume financial crime programs. My background spans fraud investigations, payments and transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, AML/BSA compliance, and quality oversight, with a strong focus on regulatory accuracy and defensible decision-making.Currently, I support financial institutions through complex AML, fraud, and sanctions engagements, where I have reviewed 2,500+ investigative cases with 98% accuracy, strengthened SAR quality, and improved investigative outcomes through structured quality assurance and analyst coaching. I am known for my ability to identify risk patterns, resolve complex alerts, and ensure investigations align with OFAC, FinCEN, and global regulatory expectations.My experience includes hands-on investigations involving payments, wires, ACH activity, transaction monitoring alerts, and watchlist screening, as well as senior-level quality review and escalation. I have led and supported teams in fast-paced environments, reduced case cycle times, improved quality metrics, and contributed to audit-ready compliance frameworks.Prior to consulting, I built a strong foundation in AML compliance, KYC/CDD, and customer risk assessment within the banking sector. My early career in lending and retail banking sharpened my understanding of customer behavior, financial risk, and regulatory controls—insight I continue to apply in financial crime investigations today.I am detail-driven, regulator-focused, and execution-oriented, with the ability to operate independently while collaborating effectively across compliance, fraud, legal, and operations teams. I thrive in roles that require sound judgment, consistency, and ownership of risk decisions.I have recently completed a 50-hour AML/CFT professional training program aligned with ACAMS (CAMS) exam domains and am currently a CAMS exam candidate, further strengthening my expertise in sanctions, transaction monitoring, SARs, and financial crime typologies.Core areas of focus:• Senior Fraud & Financial Crimes Investigations• Payments & Transaction Monitoring• Sanctions Screening & OFAC Compliance• AML/BSA & Regulatory Compliance• SAR Quality & Escalation• Quality Assurance & Analyst CoachingI am open to senior-level opportunities in fraud investigations, payments compliance, sanctions, and financial crimes risk management, where I can contribute immediate value and support strong compliance outcomes.
