What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, values security, and offers growth opportunities.

I am a detail-oriented and proactive information security professional with over three years of experience in third-party risk management and incident response. My expertise lies in assessing vendor security practices, implementing robust security protocols, and swiftly addressing security incidents to enhance organizational resilience. I am committed to fostering a secure environment through collaboration and continuous improvement in security operations.

In my current role as a Third Party / Incident Response Consultant, I assist clients in conducting thorough third-party risk assessments and developing tailored incident response plans. I lead incident response efforts, coordinate with IT and legal teams, and deliver training programs to promote security awareness. My analytical skills enable me to document security incidents effectively and provide actionable recommendations that inform strategic decisions.

Previously, I worked as a Business Analyst Accounts Payable Coordinator, where I collaborated with various departments to ensure consistency in program execution and compliance with internal controls. My experience in financial management and vendor relations has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of operational processes, which I leverage to enhance security practices in my current role.
