As a Risk Operations Analyst at Podium, I investigate and identify various financial crimes, such as account takeovers, fraud, synthetic identities, and money-laundering. I use SQL, Sumo Logic, and Stripe Radar to analyze data, identify risky user trends and interactions, and create rules-based alerts. I also proactively review data and provide feedback to accelerate product development and improve user experience.
I have a strong background in criminology, with a BS degree from West Virginia University and Arizona State University. I have also gained valuable experience on the fraud investigations and loss prevention team at Tesla, where I collaborated with sales leaders, financial ops, and the public policy team to identify and cancel over 100 fraudulent orders, recover stolen vehicles, and revamp fraud prevention training. Additionally, I completed an internship at the ATF as a special agent, where I learned about law enforcement and firearms regulations. I am passionate about using my skills and knowledge to protect consumers and businesses from financial crimes and risks.
