What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my skills in risk management and cybersecurity while contributing to a dynamic team focused on innovative solutions.

I am a dedicated analyst with a strong background in governance, risk, and compliance, currently working at Verizon. My experience includes conducting risk assessments for digital automation, API integrations, and PCI-DSS compliance. I have successfully managed stakeholder communications and application change management, ensuring that our processes align with SOX regulations.

Prior to my current role, I served as a Fios Engineer at Verizon, where I honed my skills in customer assistance and troubleshooting of fiber and on-premise equipment. My career began as a Telecommunication Engineer at Mobilenet Services, where I focused on voice validation and data performance, utilizing advanced testing platforms and tools.

With a Master’s degree in Cybersecurity Policy and Management and multiple certifications, including CISA and CRISC, I am committed to continuous learning and professional development in the field of cybersecurity and risk management.
