Fraud analyst with a nose for risk and a mind for prevention

I'm a fraud and risk analyst with more than five years of experience identifying, investigating, and preventing financial crime across digital platforms. My work is grounded in a strong understanding of fraud typologies, regulatory frameworks, and the use of behavioral data to stop fraud before it causes damage.

At Social Discovery Group, I was the first line of defense against fraud in a fast-moving, high-risk digital environment. I led end-to-end investigations using tools like TrueValidate to trace device fingerprints, detect IP and location anomalies, and flag suspicious behavior. My role involved continuous transaction monitoring, KYC/EDD reviews, and risk analysis to prevent synthetic identities, chargeback fraud, and account takeovers. These efforts led to significant reductions in fraudulent activity and helped build a more secure, trustworthy platform experience.

My background in IT systems administration also gives me an edge. While at the Retirement Benefits Authority, I supported secure infrastructure under ISO 27001 standards—administering Active Directory, managing patches and vulnerabilities, and ensuring business continuity. This technical grounding allows me to collaborate effectively with cybersecurity and engineering teams to design and enforce preventative controls.

My approach is investigative, data-driven, and grounded in compliance. Whether I’m analyzing risk exposure, drafting fraud reports, or educating users on scam prevention, I’m focused on reducing exposure and protecting both customers and the business.

When I’m not analyzing fraud patterns or improving controls, you’ll likely find me cycling long scenic routes. It's how I reset, think clearly, and come back sharper.

I'm open to opportunities where I can apply my experience to help businesses strengthen their fraud defenses, align with AML standards, and stay ahead of emerging threats.
