About

As a Cybersecurity Analyst at The Home Depot, I contributed to the Third Party Risk & Compliance team, ensuring that the company's vendors and suppliers met the highest standards of security and compliance. I used RSA Archer to perform assessments, audits, and remediations of the third party risks, and helped to implement security controls and best practices across the organization. I graduated from Western Governors University with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration and IT Management, where I gained a solid foundation in both the technical and the business aspects of information technology. I am passionate about self-improvement and learning new things, and I constantly seek opportunities to grow my skillset and knowledge. I value collaboration and teamwork, and I bring a positive mindset to every challenge and goal. Contact Information: Email: jmackie23@gmail.com Cell: 706-513-2097
