What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative role leading privacy and AI governance programs where I can build scalable controls, improve audit readiness, and partner cross-functionally to operationalize compliance.

I am a detail-oriented Data Privacy Analyst with 6+ years of experience aligning organizations to GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and HIPAA across regulated environments. I specialize in PIAs/DPIAs, RoPA/data mapping, DSAR handling, vendor risk, and embedding privacy-by-design into product and platform development.

At Pfizer I run PIA/DPIA intake, risk triage, and mitigation follow-up, maintain data inventories, coordinate DSAR workflows, and contribute to incident response while establishing AI/ML intake and AI-focused DPIAs aligned to NIST AI RMF and EU AI Act readiness. Previously, I led privacy-by-design efforts, data mapping workshops, and privacy test cases at Sparq, and earlier served in business and data analyst roles supporting requirements, QA, and SQL reporting.

I partner with Legal, Security, Product, and Engineering to translate regulatory requirements into practical controls, improve audit readiness, and coach teams on tools like OneTrust. I hold CIPP/E, CIPP/US, and CIPM certifications and seek roles where I can advance privacy programs and AI governance in collaborative, risk-aware organizations.
