What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters growth in compliance and risk management, with a focus on innovative security solutions and a collaborative team environment.

I am a results-driven Compliance Analyst with over 5 years of experience in strengthening enterprise security postures through Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) platform oversight. My proficiency in aligning operations with frameworks such as NIST, SOC 2, GDPR, and PCI DSS has enabled me to deliver over 75 compliance control assessments with actionable reporting for executive stakeholders.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led enterprise-wide risk assessments, implemented NIST CSF-aligned policies, and managed SOC 2 Type II audit readiness. My role at Amazon has allowed me to automate vendor risk monitoring and collaborate with security engineering to integrate compliance triggers into change management processes, significantly enhancing GRC maturity and operational efficiency.

My commitment to driving secure, efficient, and audit-compliant business processes is evident in my key projects, such as spearheading a cross-functional initiative at J.P. Morgan to optimize ServiceNow GRC workflows, which resulted in a 60+ hour reduction in evidence retrieval time quarterly. I am passionate about fostering a culture of compliance and security awareness within organizations.
