What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, encourages innovation, and offers opportunities for professional growth in cybersecurity compliance.

I am a seasoned cybersecurity compliance specialist with over 5 years of experience in Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). My expertise lies in implementing and administering LogicGate platforms, designing scalable compliance workflows, and managing access controls in alignment with industry standards such as NIST, ISO 27001, and SOC 2. I have successfully led a GRC system rollout that supported over 300 users across compliance, risk, and audit functions, showcasing my ability to drive impactful change within organizations.

Throughout my career, I have initiated and managed cross-departmental projects aimed at unifying risk and compliance tracking systems, which resulted in improved data consistency and decision-making. My role as a Senior Risk Management Specialist at FENO LLC involved full-cycle implementation of LogicGate, where I developed API integrations and engineered dashboards for real-time compliance tracking. I am passionate about enhancing audit readiness and optimizing compliance processes, ensuring organizations meet regulatory requirements efficiently.
