What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration, values compliance, and offers growth opportunities.

I am an experienced Governance, Risk, & Compliance (GRC) Analyst with a proven track record in developing and maturing GRC programs to mitigate risks effectively. My expertise spans various compliance frameworks, including ISO 27000, PCI, HIPAA, and GDPR, allowing me to lead risk management initiatives that enhance organizational security. I excel in assessing third-party vendor relationships and implementing robust vulnerability management programs, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of assets.

Throughout my career, I have successfully collaborated with cross-functional teams to align security practices with regulatory requirements. My hands-on experience in audit processes and IT security risk assessments has equipped me with the skills to communicate complex technical information to non-technical stakeholders. I am dedicated to maintaining a proactive stance on evolving security trends and regulations, driving continuous improvement in compliance and risk management efforts.
