You don't need another analyst who only knows the theory. You need someone who's already managed risk at scale, before they ever opened a security textbook. --- Here's my turning point. Nineteen years at Starbucks. Not as a barista who stayed too long. As a leader who ran compliance-driven operations, trained cross-functional teams, and troubleshot complex systems in real time, every single shift. The moment I realized ops risk and security risk are the same discipline with different vocabulary, I went all in. --- What that means for you: I bring 19 years of real-world incident triage, reframed for GRC. I've documented workflows for 100+ person teams. I've rebuilt broken processes under live-broadcast pressure. I've applied NIST CSF, risk frameworks, and compliance controls to hands-on labs, internships, and an active GRC portfolio. I don't just know what a risk assessment looks like. I know what it feels like when one fails at 5am with no backup plan. --- I work best with: Teams that need a junior analyst who hits the ground running, someone who asks sharp questions, documents everything, and doesn't need hand-holding on professional accountability. I'm not the right fit for: Organizations looking for a traditional straight-from-college hire with no operational context and no sense of urgency. --- GRC toolkit: Frameworks: NIST CSF · ISO 27001 · SOC 2 · NIST AI RMF Documentation: Risk Registers · BIA · Gap Assessments · Audit Checklists · Policy Writing Technical: Python · Linux · SQL · GitHub Certs: Google Cybersecurity · ISO 27001 (LinkedIn) · SOC 2 (LinkedIn) · Splunk · ISC2 Candidate --- If you're building a GRC or compliance team and want someone who's been accountable at scale before the job title said so - Let's connect.
