It's the people that drive an organization forward. The people that bring forth ideas, create a workplace culture, and build the very foundation of a successful business. As such, an organization is at its strongest when it is focusing on the wellbeing of its people and creating a healthy workplace culture. HR has shifted from the traditional administrative role to creating innovative practices revolving around how to best support employees and management in achieving an organization's strategic objectives. Having received my BBA with Honors, majoring in Human Resource Management, I am an energetic and passionate HR professional who loves her craft and at her core wants to see people succeed. A true generalist, I have theoretical and practical knowledge in a variety of HR functions including employee relations & engagement, recruitment, compensation, performance management, training and development, policy/program development, as well as diversity and inclusion. I'm an avid learner and am constantly looking to advance my knowledge in my field. Have an HR-related question? Want to impart some wisdom? In either case, I'd love to connect!

I help organizations achieve audit-ready compliance across SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST SP 800-171, HIPAA, and other security frameworks, with a structured, practical, and results-driven approach. As a Cybersecurity & GRC Consultant, I specialize in designing and implementing complete compliance programs from the ground up, including control mapping, policy development, risk assessments, and audit preparation. I don’t just deliver documentation, I ensure your controls are properly implemented, your evidence is aligned, and your environment is ready to withstand real audits. Recently, I led a full NIST SP 800-171 compliance engagement, developing the SSP and POA&M, supporting control implementation, and bringing the organization to an SPRS score of 110. My expertise covers: • SOC 2 (Type I & II readiness) • ISO 27001 implementation & documentation • NIST SP 800-171 / CMMC compliance • HIPAA security rule alignment • Risk assessments and control frameworks • Policy and procedure development • Audit readiness and evidence preparation What sets my approach apart: • Framework-agnostic methodology (I adapt to your compliance needs) • Practical, implementation-focused guidance (not just theory) • Clear, structured, and audit-ready deliverables If you need to build, fix, or scale your compliance program, I can help you get there efficiently and correctly.
