Background

I am a dedicated Quality Assurance Specialist at Shopbop, a leading online retailer specializing in fashion. With over a decade of experience in Quality Assurance and customer service, I bring a wealth of expertise to my role. I am transitioning into cybersecurity, motivated by a strong passion for protecting digital assets and enhancing security protocols.

My background includes evaluating control design and operating effectiveness, reviewing audit evidence, documenting findings, and partnering with stakeholders to remediate risk and strengthen compliance. I’ve worked extensively in environments that require accuracy, accountability, and clear documentation.

I’m CompTIA Security+ certified and have hands-on exposure to security frameworks and standards including NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC-aligned controls, PCI DSS, and GDPR. I’ve supported policy and SOP development, continuous control monitoring, and compliance initiatives that bridge technical requirements with business operations.

I’m particularly interested in GRC roles that involve:

• Security and compliance frameworks
• Risk identification and control assessment
• Audit and assurance support
• Policy governance and documentation
• Cross-functional collaboration with IT and security teams
