What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that values compliance and cybersecurity, offering growth opportunities and a collaborative environment.

I am a detail-oriented IT Audit and Compliance Analyst with a strong foundation in computer science and hands-on experience in cybersecurity, risk assessment, and regulatory compliance. My expertise lies in conducting internal audits, evaluating IT controls, and ensuring alignment with industry frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, COBIT 5, PCI DSS, and GDPR. I am adept at identifying control gaps, testing security protocols, and driving remediation efforts to improve organizational risk posture.

Throughout my career, I have successfully conducted IT audits to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls and risk management processes. My role at Infosec Consulting has allowed me to assess the design and operational effectiveness of IT General Controls (ITGC) and perform audits across various IT domains. I pride myself on my analytical thinking and attention to detail, which have been crucial in providing actionable recommendations to mitigate risks and enhance security posture.
