About
I’m a Compliance Squad Investigator with a strong background in investigating accounts for fraud, money laundering, and terrorist financing risks, and for potential violations of Remitly’s User Agreement. As a Money Services Business, I help support Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) by partnering with the Seattle Compliance team to identify and escalate accounts that may require SAR filings.
I bring hands-on experience across compliance and fraud functions—reviewing fraud concerns, operational risk triggers, sending thresholds, and enhancing STAR review process. I’m well-versed in BSA, AML, KYC, and government-driven policies, with exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills to recognize non-obvious patterns while protecting customer experience in a fast-paced environment.
