CAMS, CAMS-RM Certified | 4+ Years of Experience | Criminology Senior AML Consultant at LEXCO Ltd, supporting clients across diverse regulated industries with practical, risk-based advice on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) compliance. I work closely with clients across various regulated sectors, offering tailored guidance on regulatory obligations, risk assessments, policy design, and day-to-day compliance strategy. My role involves navigating complex AML scenarios with a hands-on, solution-focused approach, bridging technical regulation with practical implementation. Previously a Senior Compliance Analyst at Chetcuti Cauchi Advocates, I developed extensive experience in sanctions screening, KYC onboarding, and policy drafting, and played an active role in supporting regulatory inspections. Academically, I hold both a BA and MA in Criminology from the University of Malta. I'm also CAMS and CAMS-RM certified, and have contributed to the academic field through a published paper accessible via my Google Scholar profile. Outside of work, I’ve proudly volunteered with AVL for over 12 years and practice part-time beekeeping. It's a small reminder that focus, patience, and structure yield the sweetest results Google Scholar: & hl=en & oi=ao
