I’m a Midwest kid who grew up in the late 90s, I often used technology to connect with people all over the country who held similar interest in technology. I was always fascinated by how people connected online and created their own rules for interacting in digital spaces. This made me an early adopter in the digital world and laid the foundation for my professional journey.

With over a decade of experience in monitoring and managing IT systems, I have honed my skills in using security SIEMs, EDR, patch and vulnerability management solutions to proactively identify and mitigate cyber threats. As a Program Manager and CTI Analyst, I have significantly enhanced the cybersecurity capabilities of IT shops by developing IT strategies that deliver actionable intelligence, processes, and procedures to their security teams. My strategic approach to protecting digital infrastructure is grounded in Professional experience, various Industry certifications and a Master’s degree in Computer and Information Systems-Security.

I also bring valuable professional experience as a Systems and Database Administrator at federal agencies, where I managed critical IT infrastructure and ensured data integrity and security for high value financial targets. My extensive experience in driving IT security compliance, particularly as an IT Security Compliance Specialist, fuels my passion for safeguarding information. I am committed to advancing your security posture and fostering a culture of cyber resilience. I hold a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Colorado, that focuses on Organizational Communication, which enables me to effectively communicate complex security concepts, ensuring your team remains unified and proactive in addressing evolving cyber challenges.

My current interest is in tracking threat actor activity and tactics across the dark web.
