About Me

I'm a Legal & Compliance Operations Manager at Marsh McLennan, bringing over 8 years of specialised experience in AML, fraud analysis, and regulatory compliance across multiple jurisdictions.

My career journey is unconventional — I hold a bachelor's degree in Hospitality, which gave me a sharp foundation in client focus and operational excellence before I transitioned fully into the world of financial compliance. That cross-domain perspective is something I bring to every engagement.

I operate at the intersection of risk management, regulatory intelligence, and operational efficiency — designing frameworks that are not just compliant, but genuinely robust under scrutiny.
