Using the FFIEC Handbooks guidelines, risk assessments, audits, and policy reviews, I work with the Information Security Officer of various community banks. I assist them to identify and formulate a plan for threats and vulnerabilities to their organization. With our program, my team and I help our banks to be vigilant and stay on track to meet regulatory requirements. I have conducted several IT Audits, GLBA Risk Assessments, eBanking Risk Assessments, and Identity Theft/ Red Flag Risk Assessments.

As a member of a Team, I utilized my knowledge and experience of evaluating and assessing risk, along with Industry Frameworks (HIPAA, NIST) to worked with Healthcare Covered Entities and Business Associates to work towards HIPAA Compliance, better cyber hygiene, and to formulate an overall view of their risk posture on an Administrative, Technical, and Physical level. I am familiar and have experience with the HIPAA Security and Privacy Rules, HITRUST, and NIST CSF, RMF and NIST 800-53. I have assisted Healthcare organizations in developing policies and procedures to help meet the guidelines of the Department of Health and Human Services and OCR Auditor. I have conducted onsite visits for clients to evaluate and assess the threats and vulnerabilities to their organization.

It was my responsibility to handle cases from the initial call through to the conclusion. I utilized my knowledge, skills, and training to solve several Identity Theft and Fraudulent Use of a Credit Card cases. Throughout my career, I used risk management and assessment skills to minimize and mitigate risks to ensure the safety of my fellow Officers and the public. As a Police Officer, I knew I was one of many public and professional faces for the town and the department, and I took that role very seriously. I have received training in Forensic Statement Analysis and First Responder Evidence Collection. I have earned a Certificate of Merit, a Certificate of Commendation, and a Life Saving Award.
