What I'm looking for

I’m open to remote roles and can support EU business hours with U.S. East Coast overlap.

At The Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), I established the organization’s first recurring cybersecurity risk-and-control review, prioritizing critical vulnerabilities and tracking mitigation actions to closure. I also coordinated remediation across enterprise cybersecurity initiatives.

At the United States Coast Guard, I led information-system audits and developed a Plan of Action & Milestones that reversed an inherited failed audit and raised compliance to 90%+.

As IT Project Manager at the Coast Guard’s C5I Service Center, I built automated Power BI and Power Automate reporting for project managers across the country. The shared program-status view contributed to a 22% increase in release velocity.

I hold an M.S. in Cybersecurity and PMP and PMI-ACP certifications. I’m also building EzraGallery Studio, where I launched an artwork mockup platform and migrated its app, database, and storage to Cloudflare.
