What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in cybersecurity where I can contribute to compliance initiatives and grow my expertise in risk management.

I am a Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) Analyst with a strong foundation in cybersecurity and compliance frameworks. My experience includes translating regulatory requirements such as NIST, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 into actionable policies that effectively reduce risk. I pride myself on my ability to communicate complex concepts clearly, ensuring that all stakeholders understand the importance of compliance and security measures.

During my internship at Symposia, I managed risk and compliance initiatives, conducted over 15 risk assessments, and supported global audits, which significantly improved our compliance readiness. My proactive approach has led to a 25% reduction in high-risk findings through collaborative efforts with IT teams. I am passionate about leveraging my technical knowledge and governance expertise to strengthen organizational security posture and drive compliance excellence.
