What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on GRC, third-party risk, and IT audit where I can lead compliance initiatives, improve control frameworks, and collaborate cross-functionally in security-focused, growth-oriented organizations.

I am an experienced IT Auditor and Cybersecurity Analyst with over seven years supporting risk management, IT compliance, and security operations across healthcare, financial, and defense environments. I have led third-party risk management, internal and external IT audits, and developed GRC processes using tools like OneTrust, ServiceNow, and Archer to streamline compliance and audit readiness.

I apply industry standards including NIST SP 800-53, RMF, SOC 2, HIPAA, HITRUST, and ISO 27001 to conduct assessments, manage remediation, and support incident response and business continuity. I hold an active Secret Clearance, am pursuing an MSc in Cybersecurity Management, and consistently drive measurable improvements in control environments and vendor security posture.
