What I'm looking for

I seek a privacy/compliance role where I can apply AI and no-code automation to reduce risk, lead DPIAs, improve vendor controls, train teams, and drive measurable compliance outcomes.

I am a Privacy and Compliance Operations Specialist with four years of experience ensuring regulatory adherence across GDPR, CCPA, and similar frameworks. I reduced DSAR turnaround by 60%, maintained 99% compliance, and automated workflows using AI and no-code tools.

I have led DPIAs, created vendor due-diligence templates that improved third-party compliance tracking to 90%, and trained over 100 employees on privacy best practices. I was recognized with a Mondaq Thought Leadership award for work on data protection and I continuously embed privacy-by-design controls to accelerate project approvals and reduce compliance risk.
