MY GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT: As a project manager in Morgan Stanley’s Financial Crimes Technology Division in New York City, my primary role is to create innovative solutions that allow real-time transaction monitoring that screens, identifies, assesses and mitigates undesirable financial behavior on a global scale. These surveillance technologies have a huge global impact and protect the firm against threat agents like money laundering, tax evasion, identity impersonations and frauds. My work brings me great satisfaction in knowing that the technology solutions I create directly contribute to enhancing the security and safety of client assets and helps to protect the firm against global threats.

HOW DREXEL HELPED: I attended Drexel as an international student from 2010–13. Throughout my time in the LeBow College of Business I was encouraged by my professors to leverage my strengths. Drexel’s core values of entrepreneurship through education played a significant role in creating a solid foundation. The faculty provides instruction with a hands-on and practical approach that played a major role in creating a mindset that viewed every challenge as an opportunity to succeed. From the very beginning I realized that the strength and intensity of the business program transcends its academic repertoire. This helped me to learn new skills and develop the competencies required for success in highly competitive business environments — and also enabled me to quickly acclimatize to my new surroundings.

WHERE I’ll BE IN FIVE YEARS: I want to be among the top five global leading subject matter experts creating innovative, state-of-the-art technologies aimed at the prevention and detection of criminal activities. I would like to leverage the power of artificial intelligence to prevent and detect financial crimes and thereby help build a more secure world.
