About

Professional summary

I am a cybersecurity analyst with experience in security operations, incident response, vulnerability management, identity and access management, governance, risk, and compliance.

I currently work as a Cybersecurity/Risk Intelligence Analyst, where I conduct threat and vulnerability assessments, support vendor due diligence, review security controls, and contribute to executive risk briefings.

Previously, I progressed from Security Delivery Associate to Security Analyst at Accenture. My work included Splunk-based incident triage, IAM governance, security control testing, vulnerability remediation, and third-party risk assessments.

I have hands-on experience working with frameworks and regulations including NIST, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. I am comfortable evaluating controls, tracking remediation, and communicating security risks to cross-functional stakeholders.

I hold a Master of Science in Cybersecurity and CompTIA Security+ and CySA+ certifications. I am also interested in emerging security areas including LLM privacy risks, cloud security, and AI-assisted security analysis.
