What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my background in data and information governance, Microsoft Purview, metadata, access controls, and evidence-based remediation in regulated, research, public-sector, or high-consequence data environments.

I'm supporting 25–30 client environments at Greystone Technology, investigating data access, permissions, retention, audit conditions, and information-security questions across Microsoft 365.

I use Microsoft Purview Content Search/eDiscovery, SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange Online PowerShell, Entra ID, and Active Directory to gather evidence, validate controls, remediate issues, and document outcomes for technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Previously, I built repeatable metadata, taxonomy, provenance, cataloging, data-quality, and information-lifecycle practices while administering systems and digital assets at Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum. I also helped lead the museum to third place in the Wyoming Cybersecurity Competition for Small Business.

My background combines information stewardship, policy documentation, identity and access administration, and multi-client technical operations in regulated, research, public-sector, and high-consequence data environments.
