Summary

I am a dynamic and goal-oriented professional with a strong background in psychiatric health, enhanced by a Master's degree in Project Management from West London Business School. My specialization lies in Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) within the cybersecurity sector. I am deeply committed to minimizing the impact of both intentional and unintentional human errors. As a creative problem-solver with excellent communication skills, I am adept at conducting situational risk assessments. My experience includes navigating high-pressure situations and effectively managing volatility. I am prepared to apply my cybersecurity expertise to improve GRC practices and reduce risk in complex organizational settings.
