Healthcare privacy and compliance attorney at Cognizant who led incident-response governance and designed executive risk dashboards.

United States
Message

At Cognizant Technology Solutions, I led enterprise security and privacy incident-response governance, from investigation support and reporting obligations to remediation priorities and executive communications. I also designed Power BI dashboards to track risk, remediation status, SLA performance, and operational trends.

At Siemens Health Services (Cerner), I developed HIPAA privacy and security assessment methodologies and automated tools for healthcare organizations. I translated HIPAA, HITECH, state privacy requirements, and healthcare security standards into practical guidance.

Earlier, at Covansys (CBSI), I directed enterprise HIPAA risk assessments and developed privacy and information security governance frameworks. At Metalogics, Inc., I developed consulting methodologies for the firm's emerging HIPAA practice and an automated executive reporting platform.
