What I'm looking for

I am a dedicated cybersecurity consultant with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering and a minor in Mass Communications. My professional journey has equipped me with a robust skill set in protecting systems and networks against potential threats. Currently, I work at AT&T, where I maximize efficiency in cybersecurity by conducting vulnerability testing and security assessments. I thrive in collaborative environments, leveraging my ability to communicate complex topics to senior leaders and partners effectively.

Previously, I served as a Sr. Security Engineer at BNSF Railway, where I honed my skills in analyzing network data and managing IT risk identification processes. My experience includes leading vulnerability assessments and penetration testing, which have provided actionable insights to enhance organizational security. I am passionate about staying current with cybersecurity standards and emerging threats, ensuring that I can provide high-impact solutions that meet the evolving needs of clients.
