What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role where I can lead or significantly contribute to privacy program development, automation, and cross-functional compliance efforts, ideally in an organization valuing privacy-by-design, collaboration, and growth.

I am a versatile privacy and technology law professional with strong legal and technical foundations, focused on designing and implementing data protection strategies across GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and ISO frameworks. I specialize in automating privacy processes using tools like Ecomply and OneTrust to streamline RoPA, data mapping, and regulatory monitoring.

I have led privacy audits, supported ISO 27001/27701 certification efforts, and developed privacy programs for startups and established organizations, delivering measurable improvements in vendor risk management, incident response, and data governance. I routinely conduct PIAs/DPIAs, manage DSARs, and create training and SOPs to embed privacy by design across business units.

I collaborate cross-functionally with Legal, IT, HR, and operations to operationalize compliance, and I mentor and train DPOs and privacy teams to sustain regulatory alignment and reduce organizational risk. I am passionate about addressing privacy challenges in AI and cybersecurity and translating complex regulation into pragmatic controls.
