Summary

Over the last 13 years, I have gained an extensive work history within the financial industry, in which I started out as a Teller, and worked my way into the Residential Lending Department as a Loan Closer. I have been working in the AML/Compliance field since October of 2018, which has given me great insight into the AML compliance program. I am currently working to obtain my CAMS certification. In addition I also have considerable knowledge of basic computer, and data entry skills, which I believe would be sufficient for a position at your company.
