Whether optimizing workflows, detecting anomalies, or helping teams think more strategically about risk, I bring a combination of analytical insight, leadership, and a people-first mindset to everything I do.Now, I’m seeking opportunities to apply my skills in consulting or fintech environments where fraud prevention, consumer trust, and scalable solutions are at the forefront.
