What I'm looking for

I seek roles leading IT SOX/ITGC testing and remediation within collaborative teams, using GRC and analytics to improve audit readiness and close deficiencies quickly.

I am a SOX and IT audit professional with 10+ years supporting IT SOX compliance programs, ITGCs, and ITACs that impact financial reporting. I specialize in access management, change management, IT operations controls, walkthroughs, evidence QA, deficiency remediation, and collaboration with IT, Finance, Internal Audit, and external auditors to meet PCAOB-oriented standards.

I have led ITGC compliance across dozens of applications, standardized evidence requirements to reduce repeat exceptions, and supported supplier and third-party governance in large retail environments. I hold MS in Information Technology (Information Assurance and Security) and certifications including CISA, PMP, and CISSP, and I leverage GRC platforms, IAM tools, ERP systems, and analytics to deliver audit-ready controls and measurable remediation outcomes.
