What I'm looking for

I'm looking to turn cybersecurity, regulatory, and system requirements into clear, operational documentation, policies, and processes that help organizations manage risk and meet compliance obligations.

I've built cybersecurity policy and documentation programs for the U.S. House of Representatives, FAA, Peace Corps, GSA, DOL, and other federal organizations. My work turns NIST, FISMA, RMF, and operational requirements into policies, SOPs, implementation plans, and practical guidance teams can use.

At the FAA, I drove updates to more than 130 information-security processes in six months and contributed templates, charts, and SME input to the agency's Zero Trust implementation plan. For the U.S. House of Representatives, I created an INFOSEC policy framework from gap analysis through Committee approval.

I've also delivered vendor-risk procedures for Navy Federal Credit Union, ICAM documentation for GSA, an Active Directory migration documentation set for DOL, and agency-wide security awareness training that reached 97% compliance at Peace Corps. I work comfortably with technical SMEs and executive leadership to clarify requirements, manage risk, and produce documentation that supports real operations.
