What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters continuous learning and collaboration, where I can leverage my GRC expertise to drive compliance and risk management initiatives.

I am a Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) professional with extensive experience in driving enterprise compliance programs, including PCI-DSS, IT SOX, and third-party risk management. My expertise lies in aligning cybersecurity policies and controls with frameworks such as NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and COBIT, which has significantly reduced audit findings and strengthened risk posture across organizations.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated success in ITGC testing, control remediation, and compliance automation. My role as a Compliance Analyst at VOBEV LLC has allowed me to streamline the implementation of cybersecurity GRC programs, leading to a 40% reduction in policy exceptions during audits. I have also spearheaded initiatives that improved compliance with federal oversight bodies and facilitated risk assessments that mitigate potential compliance risks.

My previous experience at Microsoft and Quibi has further honed my skills in risk assessment frameworks and regulatory compliance. I am passionate about continuous improvement and cross-functional collaboration, ensuring organizations not only meet regulatory requirements but also foster a culture of compliance and risk awareness.
