At Canada Life, I advise on cybersecurity governance and risk across cloud adoption, infrastructure changes, third-party engagements, and M&A initiatives. I lead security and technology risk assessments, identify control gaps, and recommend mitigation strategies aligned with business needs.

I also assess Azure and AWS solution designs and review vendor security obligations, vulnerability assessments, penetration-testing results, and application-security findings. I developed AI-powered agents and identified automation opportunities to streamline risk assessments and governance reporting.

Previously, at TD Bank, I advised on security risks and requirements, served as the DLP SME, and managed cybersecurity risks using Archer GRC and ServiceNow. At Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, I supported security operations and risk management, including incident investigations and vulnerability remediation.
