What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills in risk management and compliance, within a dynamic organization that values integrity and continuous improvement.

I am a seasoned Risk and Assurance professional with extensive experience in IT governance, security, and compliance management. My career spans various roles where I have successfully led audit, risk, and compliance initiatives, consistently achieving stellar results. I excel in integrating within multicultural teams and have a proven track record of managing sensitive data while ensuring compliance with regulations such as GDPR and PHIPA.

In my current role as a Senior Analyst at Home and Community Care Support Services, I prepare comprehensive audit reports, conduct compliance checks, and collaborate with security teams to mitigate risks. My previous positions have equipped me with a robust skill set in risk analysis, internal controls, and regulatory compliance, allowing me to effectively support organizations in enhancing their governance frameworks. I am passionate about fostering a culture of compliance and operational integrity, and I continuously seek opportunities to drive improvements in risk management practices.
