What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills in cyber security and allows for professional growth within a supportive team environment.

I am an experienced Information Assurance and Cyber Security Subject Matter Expert with over 8 years of dedicated service supporting military systems and networks globally. My journey has equipped me with a robust technical foundation, particularly in VMWARE and Oracle, and a strong motivation to continuously learn and adapt to new technologies.

Throughout my career, I have held pivotal roles as an Information System Security Officer, where I maintained compliance integrity through rigorous patch management and vulnerability assessments. My expertise in running compliance scans and developing documentation has significantly contributed to the security posture of various DOD information systems. I take pride in my ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams to implement security controls and ensure adherence to federal regulations.

With certifications such as Microsoft Certified Professional and CompTIA Security +, I am well-versed in the latest security protocols and practices. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to enhance organizational security and am eager to take on new challenges that allow me to contribute to mission-critical projects.
