Identity and Authentication Analyst supporting VA EHR modernization and enterprise healthcare IAM.

United States

Message

At the VA Electronic Health Record Modernization program, I supported identity and authentication initiatives in a federal healthcare environment, including identity lifecycle management, RBAC provisioning, and access governance.

At Memorial Hermann Health System, I partnered with IAM teams and application owners to assess security controls, document gaps, and coordinate remediation. I also supported Microsoft Entra ID, MFA, and identity lifecycle controls across healthcare applications.

Earlier at Memorial Hermann Health System, I managed onboarding, offboarding, provisioning, and access changes across enterprise healthcare systems. I’m CompTIA CySA+ certified and have experience with Okta, Active Directory, ServiceNow, and Jira.
