Financial Crimes Compliance Officer | Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist ("CAMS") | Economic Sanctions Compliance Expert | Risk Management | Regulatory Compliance | Compliance Operat

Financial Crimes Compliance professional with other 15 years in the banking industry. I have a performance history of maximizing operational efficiency while balancing effectiveness in risk management leading to improved resource management, risk mitigation and regulatory compliance. I utilize my skills of Regulatory Interpretation and Training to inform and support internal and external relationships of regulatory risk and compliance while balancing business needs. The strategy and direction I provide allowed me to successfully scale a sanctions compliance program to the current risk environment, building and training operational teams offshore, implementing enterprise risk technology and improved identification of risk and risk mitigation in a large financial institution.

As a BSA Officer for a startup fintech, I designed, configured and implemented an Economic Sanctions and Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering program that utilized technologies for KYC, Customer Due Diligence, Transaction Monitoring and Risk Identification for a non-traditional financial institution establishing standards and practices for regulatory compliance and risk mitigation.

Earlier in my career, I completed an MA in World Comparative History of the Middle East and Latin America that has provided me with specialized knowledge of U.S. Foreign Policy and regulatory trends and interpretation. Additionally, my past experience as a teaching assistant and assistant professor has provided me the ability to develop training, presentations and communicate regulations and risk to diverse parties effectively.
