Additional Information

My four (4) years' experience with the Branch Control Unit(now Internal Control) has taught me a great deal about operational risk and has helped shaped and sharpened my awareness of the critical role control plays within the banking environment.

It has honed my critical and analytical skills and polished my investigative and problem-solving skills. I am keen to utilize my passion for critical thinking and analytical problem-solving and investigation to make an impact in an environment that presents a good growth opportunity in the above skill set.

I have completed a number of trainings and look forward to applying these from a risk and control monitoring perspective.
