What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated IT professional and US Air Force Veteran with over 10 years of experience in IT operations, information security, and risk management. My career has been marked by a commitment to excellence in technical support and cybersecurity, particularly within government and corporate environments. I have a proven track record in ServiceNow administration, troubleshooting, and user support, which has allowed me to effectively manage user access and resolve security issues.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated expertise in risk analysis, security architecture, and compliance with federal cybersecurity policies such as RMF and NIST frameworks. My role as a Systems/Project Control Analyst at CACI Federal has further honed my skills in managing technical support across unclassified networks, while my previous experience at SAIC and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has equipped me with the ability to lead teams and implement security solutions that align with mission goals. I am passionate about continuous improvement and have successfully reduced approval times for security documentation by 25% and unauthorized access incidents by 15%.
