What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on IT governance, access and identity control, and compliance within regulated environments where I can apply my clearance, improve processes, and support cross-functional teams.

I am an early-career systems analyst advisor with hands-on experience supporting IT governance processes, access controls, compliance documentation, and system integrity across DoD, MAJCOM and globally distributed environments.

I have supported requirement coordination with developers, testers, and business users, implemented role-based access restrictions across multiple databases, and developed and governed enterprise training documentation for the Air Force Aircraft Maintenance System to ensure accuracy, compliance, and global consistency.

I maintain a current Secret Security Clearance, apply governance and records-management controls that contributed to a "Highly Effective" regional inspection rating, mentor junior personnel, and continuously improve processes through standardized work programs and onboarding improvements.
