Tampa, Florida, United States
I work in GRC and IT audit, currently completing my MS in Cybersecurity at Northeastern University while on co-op. Through my co-op experiences, I've supported governance, risk, and compliance initiatives in both higher education SaaS and healthcare environments. I've worked alongside security, engineering, IT, and business teams to prepare organizations for external assessments, improve internal processes, and enhance the effectiveness of their control environments. My work has included supporting audit readiness, evaluating control effectiveness, conducting risk assessments, developing security policies, and partnering with stakeholders to strengthen governance and compliance programs. This includes contributions to initiatives supporting HITRUST, SOC 2, HECVAT, IT General Controls (ITGC), vendor risk management, Business Impact Analysis, CIS Benchmark assessments, and AI governance aligned with the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. I work well across teams and stakeholders to gather the evidence certifications require while analyzing what auditors and assessors are truly requesting. I am strong with translating technical security requirements into business-focused solutions and helping stakeholders understand the purpose behind compliance activities. I know how to distinguish between control gaps that require remediation and risks that can be formally accepted, enabling teams to prioritize remediation efforts where they reduce the most risk and deliver the greatest value.
