About
I am a dedicated team player with exceptional leadership, project management, and communication skills. I have a proven track record of successfully managing multiple projects at once, developing and managing IT/IS risk management programs, executing high quality audits, and delivering valuable reporting, insights, and recommendations to management.
I started my career in public accounting serving as the IT Specialist responsible for testing IT General Controls (ITGCs) in support of external financial statement audit engagements. I transitioned to roles within internal audit departments focusing on audits of IT operations and infrastructure. I currently operate in the Information Security GRC space, leading a team in the development and management of GRC programs to support the Cybersecurity function.
I am a Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) and a Certified Internal Auditor (CIA). I also hold a Certification in Risk Management Assurance (CRMA). I have a strong background in IT audit and IT risk management, governance, and compliance.
