As a financial crimes risk, compliance, and audit professional with eight years experience, I specialize in BSA/AML, KYC, sanctions, and regulatory issue validation. Most recently, I supported MRIA/MRA projects as an Auditor, to enhance clients’ KYC programs through audits focused on CIP, CDD, EDD, and sanctions controls. My role emphasizes evaluating design adequacy and implementation effectiveness in customer onboarding processes and controls to ensure regulatory alignment and risk mitigation.

Prior role at Morgan Stanley's Global Financial Crimes Audit Group, highlights my ability to perform MRIA validation testing and strengthen financial crimes compliance (FCC) programs. My previous work at Republic reflects a commitment to building scalable compliance solutions by collaborating cross-functionally. Certified in CAMS and CGSS, I am driven to advance financial crimes prevention through innovative strategies and robust compliance frameworks.
