Summary

With an extensive background spanning over five years in IT compliance and audit, I possess a fervent dedication to ensuring the security, dependability, and authenticity of IT systems and procedures. My expertise lies in IT general controls (ITGC), Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance, vendor-oriented applications, and change management. Serving as an IT Compliance Analyst II at IIE, my responsibilities encompass orchestrating IT policies, spearheading yearly assessments, conducting reviews of privileged/user access, and managing inquiries from both internal and external auditors. I draw inspiration from IIE's mission to deliver inventive, customer-centric solutions for communication and entertainment necessities. My ethos revolves around collaboration, diversity, and perpetual learning, principles that I am committed to instilling within my team and the entire organization.
