Cybersecurity-focused systems analyst with 10+ years securing enterprise environments and supporting incident response.
What I'm looking for
I’m a military veteran and cybersecurity-focused IT professional with 10+ years supporting enterprise environments and earning CompTIA Security+. I specialize in Active Directory, Microsoft 365, access control, and endpoint security, with hands-on incident response support, risk mitigation, and continuous security improvements across compliance-driven settings.
In my most recent role as a Systems Analyst, I supported enterprise security and compliance aligned to NIST and SOC 2, and I reduced the IT ticket backlog by 75% by improving escalation workflows, strengthening documentation, and standardizing incident handling procedures. I troubleshoot and resolve security-related and system-level issues, manage access-related requests, and help maintain audit readiness through SQL-based reports and dashboards.
I’ve also led application systems and endpoint operations in healthcare environments where I enforced HIPAA compliance and secure handling of sensitive data. I served as escalation support for complex access control and security incidents, developed security training (including Relias-based training and phishing simulations), built Power BI/Tableau compliance reporting, and mentored a team of six to improve response times and reduce risk.
