As the Fraud Leader at Merrick Bank, I drive initiatives to optimize fraud strategy, portfolio approval rates, and customer journey. With 8+ years of experience in financial risk management, I have reduced risk for banks, fin-techs, and start-ups across prime, semi-prime, and sub-prime segments. I hold a Master's Degree in Information Management from Syracuse University, with a certificate in Data Science. I am fascinated by growing and challenging work environments, and I thrive in fast-paced, collaborative, and data-driven environments. I am currently on H-1B visa status and require sponsorship to work in the US.
