ANGELA PAULUS

Minot,ND

Summary

I’m a fraud and investigations professional with nearly a decade of experience conducting complex audits, analyzing suspicious activity, and deploying intelligence tools to safeguard operations and uncover risk. My background in open-source intelligence (OSINT) and digital forensics—honed during my service in the U.S. Air Force—has equipped me with a sharp eye for anomalies and a strategic mindset for detecting fraud at scale.

Throughout my career, I’ve led high-risk transactional reviews, reduced false positives by 22%, and streamlined fraud investigation workflows across distributed teams. I’ve collaborated closely with Legal, IT, Compliance, and cross-functional stakeholders to ensure secure data practices and regulatory compliance. From building custom dashboards for anomaly detection to delivering fraud-mitigation training to over 250 users, I bring both technical fluency and operational leadership to every role.

Now transitioning into the civilian fraud risk sector, I’m applying my investigative acumen to roles in fintech, healthcare, and compliance-focused industries. My goal is to continue driving meaningful impact where accuracy, ethics, and fraud prevention intersect.
