I assess federal security controls and build FedRAMP and FISMA authorization packages.

At Visual Connections, I support FedRAMP and FISMA assessments across systems of varying size and scope. I assess controls through interviews, testing, reviews, and observation, documenting findings and recommendations to strengthen customer security posture.

Previously at Colsa Crop, I produced FedRAMP-compliant System Security Plans and maintained RMF A&A packages through continuous monitoring. I also performed third-party risk assessments, ISMS audits, cybersecurity discovery assessments, and policy gap analyses against NIST, OMB, and FISMA guidance.

At Radyant Inc, I supported DoD authorization efforts from system categorization through ATO documentation, including SSPs, SARs, contingency plans, and POA&Ms. I partnered with ISSOs and engineering teams to analyze Nessus and WebInspect scan results, coordinate remediation, and track security weaknesses.

I bring more than seven years of information security assessment experience across RMF, NIST, FedRAMP, vulnerability management, and continuous monitoring. I'm committed to producing accurate compliance documentation and helping organizations implement practical security controls.
