My academic journey enhanced my expertise on the convergence of organized criminal activities into licit economies, including in conflict areas, which poses a challenge to detect and mitigate potential risks associated with such crimes.In the past couple of years, I have developed my expertise in the world of financial economic crime and aim to continue growing my knowledge in this field while bringing my own contributions to the industry leveraging my diverse and unique background. As illustrated by my past experiences, one of my purposes has always been to fight criminal activity. By helping to safeguard the financial system, I believe to have the chance to contribute to a safer and sustainable world, which is in line with my personal beliefs. Overall, my experience reflects a versatile and comprehensive skill set, making me adept at navigating the complexities of diverse investigative landscapes.Apart from my professional goals, I also love travelling and experiencing new cultures, learning new languages, and trying new foods.
