Background: HR to Cybersecurity

10+ years in HR & Recruitment brought stakeholder management, documentation discipline, and process ownership. Now applied to GRC and security programs with a focus on clear communication and execution.

What I Bring to a Team

Beyond certifications and technical knowledge, here's how I add value from day one.

Documentation That Works

I create clear policies, SOPs, and evidence packs that auditors and stakeholders actually understand. No jargon walls—just clean documentation that supports certification and daily operations.

Policy Writing • Process Documentation • Evidence Management

Stakeholder Translation

From HR leadership to cybersecurity operations, I bridge technical and non-technical conversations. I explain risk in business terms and present controls as enablers, not blockers.

Executive Communication • Cross-Team Collaboration • Risk Translation

Frameworks in Action

I map controls to ISO 27001, NIST CSF, SOC 2, and regulatory requirements. Not just checkboxes—I connect frameworks to real workflows, making compliance operational and measurable.

ISO 27001/42001 • NIST CSF • Compliance Mapping

Process Ownership Mindset

I own processes end-to-end: design, document, implement, measure. From risk registers to incident response workflows, I ensure controls are documented, tested, and audit-ready.

Process Design • Ownership • Continuous Improvement

Quick Learner, Fast Executor

Career pivot from HR to Cybersecurity in under 2 years while earning Lead Auditor credentials. I learn fast, execute faster, and bring a hunger to prove value in every task.

Self-Directed Learning • Rapid Skill Acquisition • Results-Driven

Tool Proficiency

Hands-on with Qualys VMDR, GRC platforms, risk assessment tools, and compliance automation. I adapt quickly to new tools and integrate them into existing security workflows.
