What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, encourages collaboration, and values security innovation.

I am a dedicated Cybersecurity Analyst with over 6 years of experience specializing in Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) within the banking and fintech sectors. My expertise lies in identifying, analyzing, and mitigating risks associated with financial crime, internal controls, and regulatory compliance. I have a proven track record of enhancing organizational security posture through effective collaboration with cross-functional teams, ensuring alignment with regulatory and enterprise standards.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led initiatives that improved compliance and risk management processes. At Square Inc., I enhanced internal controls across multiple departments and significantly reduced phishing risks through targeted simulations. My analytical skills have allowed me to develop risk heatmaps and dashboards that effectively communicate key risk indicators to executive leadership, driving informed decision-making. I am passionate about continuous improvement and committed to fostering a culture of security awareness within organizations.
