United States
Message

At GO HEALTH URGENT CARE, I lead enterprise Cyberdefense and Security Operations across endpoint protection, vulnerability management, incident response, and cloud security. I reduced vulnerability exposure by implementing a 4-day patching cycle, replacing the previous 10-day remediation model.

I built an enterprise DLP capability using CrowdStrike Data Protection and advanced endpoint hardening, threat intelligence, and measurable Cyberdefense reporting. I also integrated AI into security workflows for threat investigation, vulnerability prioritization, threat hunting, and decision support.

At Aaron’s, I led the Endpoint Security and Information Protection team and architected the first enterprise DLP program for Aaron’s and BrandsMart USA. Earlier, I worked in cyber threat intelligence at Coca-Cola and held security engineering roles at Equifax, IBM/Internet Security Systems (ISS), and VC3.
