What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead PCI DSS and GRC initiatives, work cross-functionally on remediation and certification, and grow in cloud and ISMS leadership within collaborative, security-focused teams.

I am an Associate Consultant and Cybersecurity Analyst focused on GRC and PCI DSS compliance, with hands-on experience securing cardholder data and aligning technical controls with business objectives.

I lead PCI DSS compliance programs, conduct risk assessments, penetration testing, and vulnerability scanning, and collaborate with QSAs to support certification readiness and audit success.

I drive remediation programs, incident response planning, vendor risk management, and security training to strengthen organizational security posture and reduce audit findings.

My achievements include attaining PCI DSS Level 1 compliance, reducing PCI scope through segmentation and tokenization, and implementing vulnerability management that lowered security audit findings.
