Rose Marie Keenan
Hello, my name is Rose! I am an IT Audit professional who enjoys combining detail-oriented testing with client-facing collaboration. I love asking questions and diving into systems, applications, processes, and infrastructure to truly understand how they work — all with the goal of delivering clear, high-quality audits. My curiosity and people-first approach help me make complex topics easier to navigate while building strong client relationships along the way.
I am an energetic and positive person who loves to add value to any team or company I am a part of. I love asking questions and, vice versa, I love answering questions. Giving someone the opportunity and space to learn or to advance their career is something I am very passioante about. At the end of the day, I love helping, supporting, and encouraging others.
