Professional Summary

I am an ambitious and results-oriented Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and financial crime compliance professional with over four years of experience supporting financial institutions and fintechs across Brazil and the United States. My expertise lies in building, enhancing, and managing AML frameworks that meet both global and local regulatory expectations. I’ve led end-to-end initiatives that strengthened AML programs—ranging from the design of risk-based policies and controls to the automation of transaction monitoring through AI and machine learning solutions.

My work bridges compliance, data, and technology. I’ve successfully optimized alert systems to reduce false positives, improved case management efficiency, and collaborated with engineering teams to ensure compliance requirements are seamlessly integrated into business and product strategies. I take pride in my ability to translate complex regulatory expectations into practical, scalable solutions that help organizations grow responsibly.

Certified as a CAMS (Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist), I bring a strong foundation in global AML standards, fraud prevention, and risk governance. My goal is to continue developing innovative AML strategies that leverage data analytics and automation to make compliance smarter, faster, and more proactive.

Profile

Beyond compliance, I’m someone who loves exploring the world and learning from new cultures. I’ve lived in Jordan, China, and currently call Brazil home—experiences that have shaped my global mindset and adaptability. I’m passionate about reading, history, sports, and traveling, and I enjoy connecting these interests with my professional life, especially when analyzing how different countries approach financial integrity and regulation.

I speak English (native), Portuguese (native), Arabic (advanced) and Spanish (intermediate), which helps me bridge communication gaps in multinational environments and understand regulatory nuances across regions. I believe that curiosity, cultural understanding, and continuous learning are key to being an effective compliance professional in today’s interconnected world.

Capabilities

My capabilities span the full AML and compliance lifecycle—from policy development to hands-on implementation and testing. I have extensive experience in regulatory mapping for both Brazilian and U.S. jurisdictions, KYC and enhanced due diligence processes, and transaction monitoring optimization using AI and machine learning tools. I’ve led risk assessments, internal audits, and remediation projects that ensured organizations remained compliant while improving efficiency.

In addition, I have a strong command of data analytics and reporting, with proficiency in tools such as SQL, Tableau, and Excel for identifying patterns and presenting actionable insights. My ability to collaborate across compliance, product, and technology teams has consistently resulted in measurable improvements in alert quality, team productivity, and overall AML program maturity. I bring both strategic vision and hands-on expertise to every engagement, ensuring compliance programs are robust, scalable, and aligned with business goals.
