A little about me

Following the details.
Seeing the bigger picture.

My banking experience spans customer service, anti-money laundering, and fraud investigations. Across those roles, I’ve learned to ask useful questions, examine records carefully, and turn complex information into clear findings.

I advanced from AML Analyst to AML Lead Investigator in 15 months, gaining experience in investigative quality assurance, regulatory reporting, and analyst mentoring. Today, I work as a Fraud Analyst II and continue developing my financial crimes expertise.
