My hands on business experience as a financial risk analyst combined with my graduate degree in Information Technology make me the ideal candidate to help you bridge the gap between complex technology and business users and mitigate operational risk exposure. I bring 5 years of experience in interpreting and analyzing data to feed risk-based business solutions. I am proficient in Excel, VBA, SQL, ETL processes, database models, Tableau, and other reporting tools. I am able to design dashboards and simplify large data sets in collaboration with subject matter experts, allowing them to focus on the results and do more with less. Additionally, I have significant industry experience crafting and maintaining enterprise-wide policies and procedures related to IT risk, data governance, and business development. I also have 5 years experience writing in-depth IT risk assessment reports for executive management and board of directors. This has helped me understand the value of a "polished" document that is informative, approachable, and in compliance with my clients preferred style guide. Recently, I led the implementation of an enterprise-wide data governance software solution. This included developing business and technical requirements, RFPs, user-acceptance test scripts, training materials, related policies and procedure guides, and everything in between. As an enterprise risk analyst, I have significant experience researching and communicating technology risks across diverse audiences, with a focus on cybersecurity, cryptocurrency, blockchain, legacy software, software vulnerabilities, and data security. Please reach out with any questions you may have. I look forward to collaborating and contributing to your success!
