Cameron Brilla Email & Phone Number

I am a proactive and forward-thinking Anti-Money Laundering specialist who is passionate about helping others and the world around us. I enjoy problem solving and analytical thinking, especially as that may apply to real world applications. I am able to thrive professionally within an independent setting, but I also find value in working with my colleagues in order to accomplish tasks and manage projects. I pride myself on being detail-oriented as well as creative when it comes to devising solutions to both everyday problems and complex issues alike. Above all else, I enjoy making connections with others, whether that be clients or colleagues, in order to gain new perspectives and to further refine my appreciation for diversity.Upon graduating from the University of Akron with a BA in Philosophy, I set my sights on a career field that would allow me to tackle environmental issues. I was soon accepted into a master's program at Cleveland State University in Environmental Studies, where I worked closely with others discussing issues of sustainability, resource management, policy implementation, and conservation/preservation. My colleagues and I worked on several projects together both in person and remotely using tools like Microsoft Teams. As such, I am comfortable utilizing and learning remote tools to work both independently and with others. Although I was seeking a career in environmental issues, specifically, I was ultimately gravitating towards a field where I could tackle human issues.While attending Cleveland State University, I decided to take a career break to focus on family, relocating from Cleveland to Southwestern PA region. I was fortunate to acquire a job managing a small community credit union, where I developed skills in Anti-Money Laundering (AML) monitoring and reporting, back-end operational management, as well as some IT and software troubleshooting. My keen attention to detail, time management, and critical thinking abilities have allowed me to be very successful in my current position at Somerset Trust Company (STC) as the AML administrator, directly reporting to the BSA officer. As the AML administrator I review and submit all employees' reports, thoroughly research OFAC hits and respond to FinCEN 314(a) requests, as well as assist the officer with subpoenas, audits, and examinations. I am currently on track to assume the position of BSA officer at STC, ensuring that the bank's customers' information and money is kept safe while also preventing money laundering and terrorism both locally and at large.

Listed skills include Non Profit Volunteering, Environmental Policy, Analytical Writing, Policy Analysis, and 2 others.
