BSA/AML/CFT Program Compliance at Global TradFi/FinTech/Crypto Organizations | Regulatory Compliance | Enhanced Due Diligence | Juris Doctorate | Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist
With over a decade of experience in regulatory compliance and financial crimes auditing, I have contributed to ensuring organizations meet stringent AML/CFT standards across evolving industries. As a Senior Compliance Associate at Kraken Digital Asset Exchange, I supported the company's mission by collaborating with Compliance and Legal stakeholders to uphold a robust AML/CFT program across multiple international jurisdictions within the dynamic crypto/fintech space. My work reflects a commitment to fostering trust, integrity, and transparency in the financial ecosystem. At Kraken, I contributed to the effectiveness of compliance programs while navigating complex regulatory landscapes. Leveraging my expertise in regulatory compliance, internal audits, and legal research, I provided actionable insights to strengthen the organization's financial crime frameworks. My previous roles in financial compliance at Wells Fargo, State Farm Bank, and Charles Schwab further honed my ability to assess risks, support governance structures, and champion cross-functional collaboration in high-stakes environments, all while leveraging strong research, communication, and critical thinking skills acquired as part of my legal background.
