What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to enhance compliance and risk management processes while fostering a collaborative and innovative company culture.

I am a Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) Specialist with over five years of experience in risk management, compliance audits, and governance frameworks. My career has been marked by a commitment to enhancing regulatory compliance and implementing effective risk mitigation strategies. I have successfully implemented and managed risk assessment processes that reduced overall organizational risk by 20% and developed compliance policies that achieved a remarkable 95% adherence to industry standards.

Throughout my professional journey, I have facilitated audits with zero major findings for three consecutive years, showcasing my dedication to maintaining high standards of compliance. My experience spans various roles, including GRC Analyst at MetroStar, where I honed my skills in risk assessment and compliance policy development, and Information Security Analyst at the National Institutes of Health, where I improved systems security by 25% through effective vulnerability assessments and collaboration with cross-functional teams.

My technical expertise includes proficiency in tools such as Splunk, Microsoft Defender, and various IT security frameworks. I am also committed to continuous learning, as evidenced by my certifications, including CompTIA Security+ and Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA). I am eager to leverage my skills and experience to contribute to an organization that values risk management and compliance excellence.
