What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth in cybersecurity and compliance.

I am a dynamic consultant with over 20 years of experience in Information Technology, Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), and Cybersecurity. As a U.S. Naval Veteran and founder of a certified minority, woman, and veteran-owned business, I specialize in cloud security, data privacy, and compliance. My international exposure has equipped me with the skills to excel in regulatory compliance and risk management, ensuring that organizations not only meet but exceed their compliance obligations.

Throughout my career, I have led numerous GRC initiatives, collaborating with cross-functional teams to execute control testing, risk assessments, and audits. My role as a Compliance Manager at Accumulus Synergy allowed me to manage vendor security due diligence and compliance with various standards, including SOC2 and ISO27001. I have a proven track record of enhancing risk mitigation strategies and improving operational efficiency, which has resulted in significant cost savings and improved client outcomes.
