About Me

I am a legal and financial services professional expanding into cybersecurity, with over 10 years of experience managing complex client relationships, regulatory requirements, risk management processes and compliance frameworks across banking, wealth management, investment and advisory environments.

My background as an attorney and financial professional has sharpened my ability to analyze risk, interpret regulations, and communicate clearly with diverse stakeholders, from cross-functional teams to senior leadership. I bridge the gap between business objectives and security requirements, and I am actively building my technical expertise in security frameworks, network fundamentals, cloud concepts and governance, with a focus on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and other risk management methodologies.

I am particularly interested in Governance, Risk and Compliance roles where cybersecurity, risk management, compliance and business operations intersect: in financial services, government and the public sector, technology and SaaS, cybersecurity consulting, and real estate and investment organizations.

Cybersecurity is a natural fit for my values: integrity, accountability, protecting sensitive information, and making sure organizations operate securely while meeting their legal and regulatory obligations. I bring adaptability and a commitment to continuous learning, and I want to help organizations build resilient security programs, strengthen security governance and foster a culture of security.
