United StatesI am a dedicated cybersecurity and GRC professional with extensive hands-on experience in Cybersecurity Analysis, Security Operations, and Governance, Risk, and Compliance. My career has been marked by a proven track record of implementing security frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, SOX, HIPAA, and PCI DSS, which has significantly enhanced the security postures of the organizations I've worked with.
In my current role as a Cybersecurity Compliance Analyst at TransCore, I have successfully improved compliance rates by 48% and reduced incident recurrence by 25% through effective internal audits and remediation initiatives. My expertise in incident response and policy development has allowed me to maintain a 60% system uptime during cyber events, showcasing my commitment to operational excellence and risk management.
With a strong foundation in risk assessment and management, I have integrated HIPAA-compliant controls into healthcare workflows and developed KRI dashboards for improved visibility on project risks. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to a secure and compliant environment in any organization I join.
