What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a cybersecurity GRC role where I can apply risk assessment, evidence analysis, controls documentation, policy governance, and stakeholder communication while continuing to grow in NIST-based security and compliance practices.

I'm transitioning into cybersecurity GRC after building a career in risk assessment, regulated documentation, investigations, and stakeholder communication. I’m developing formal capability in NIST CSF 2.0, NIST RMF, NIST SP 800-53 controls, risk assessment, policy governance, and continuous monitoring.

At Metro Public Adjusters, I manage approximately 100 residential and commercial property claims at a time, assess financial exposure, build evidence-based positions, and partner with legal teams. My documented analysis and negotiation have produced settlements averaging 34% above insurer opening offers, including converting denied claims into paid claims.

At Ciocca Subaru, I coordinate diagnostics, manufacturer procedures, warranty requirements, repair documentation, and customer expectations. Across technical service, claims, and high-risk operations, I’ve consistently investigated root causes, applied process controls, maintained audit-ready records, and translated complex findings into actionable decisions.
