About Me
Financial crime professional focused on protecting customers and strengthening trust in banking.
I am an ambitious financial crime professional with experience in transaction monitoring, sanctions/watchlist screening, KYC/EDD, high risk live payments and risk analysis across fast-paced banking operations.
I have worked across high-pressure casework including remediation, alert reviews, fraud concerns, and SAR's while maintaining clear judgement and quality standards.
I am building a long-term career in financial crime and compliance, with a strong interest in practical risk prevention, investigative depth, and protecting customer trust.
