Background

About Hillary Simmons

As an incoming IT Auditor in Deloitte’s Risk & Financial Advisory Commercial Practice, I will help organizations strengthen their control environments through SOC 1 & 2 and SOX compliance audits. With a strong foundation in MS Excel, SQL, and Python, I enjoy connecting the dots between data, strategy, and business impact. What drives me is more than just technical accuracy—it's the opportunity to lead, optimize processes, and collaborate with people across teams and industries. Whether I’m digging into controls or speaking to a room, I aim to bring clarity, confidence, and connection to the work I do. I have a lifelong love for learning, and my undergraduate thesis explored how privacy practices differ across traditional and alternative financial services—a topic that blends my interests in tech, ethics, and equity. Long-term, I’m building toward a future that includes entrepreneurship, mentorship, and empowering others to think critically about the systems that shape our world. Let’s connect—I’m always up for great conversations about risk, innovation, and the human side of tech.
