What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Cyber Security Professional with over eight years of experience in Information Security and Information Technology. My expertise lies in supporting Information Systems Development Security Life Cycle (SDLC) and the NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF) process. I have successfully implemented and executed all six phases of the RMF, from Categorization through Continuous Monitoring, and have a proven track record in performing security control assessments following FISMA standards.
Throughout my career, I have developed and reviewed critical security documentation, including System Security Plans (SSP), Security Assessment Reports (SAR), and Contingency Plans (CP). My role as an Information Assurance Security Specialist at the Department of Homeland Security has allowed me to provide Assessment and Authorization (A&A) support for various systems, ensuring compliance and security across the board. I thrive on collaborating with stakeholders to tailor security controls and develop comprehensive security documentation that meets organizational needs.
