What I'm looking for

I am seeking a security/GRC role where I can lead ISMS initiatives, improve control maturity, and partner with leadership to reduce risk and drive compliance.

I am a results-driven GRC and IT Audit specialist with 5+ years of experience strengthening cybersecurity posture, implementing ISMS aligned to ISO 27001 and NIST, and turning audit findings into measurable business outcomes. I have led risk assessments, vulnerability management programs, IAM improvements, and third-party risk initiatives that measurably reduced exposure and improved compliance readiness.

I partner with executives and cross-functional teams to prioritize high-impact controls, automate audit testing, and deliver executive-level dashboards that accelerate remediation decisions. My hands-on experience with tools like Qualys, ServiceNow GRC, Splunk, and Power BI supports efficient audit processes and clear risk reporting.
