What I'm looking for
I am a certified Nursing Assistant transitioning into cybersecurity, equipped with advanced training and a solid foundation in electrical engineering. My experience includes analyzing risk, defining security policies, and implementing governance strategies that align with industry frameworks such as NIST and ISO. I excel at bridging the gap between technical teams and business stakeholders, applying structured problem-solving to enhance compliance, resilience, and user-centered security practices.
Throughout my academic journey, I have developed a HIPAA-aligned business continuity plan and conducted a NIST-based risk assessment for a healthcare organization. My passion lies in empowering organizations to manage cyber risk through effective policy development, vulnerability assessment, and lifecycle-based governance. I am committed to fostering a culture of security awareness and compliance within organizations, ensuring that both technical and non-technical stakeholders understand their roles in maintaining a secure environment.
