United States

Message

At Bank of America, I investigate and contain enterprise threats by monitoring security telemetry, analyzing threat intelligence, and coordinating incident response through resolution. I lead investigations involving malware, phishing, network threats, and account or system compromises.

I strengthen proactive detection through threat hunting, malicious-indicator analysis, and monitoring of network traffic, IDS activity, security events, and logs. I also use McAfee DLP Manager and McAfee Web Gateway to protect sensitive information while supporting business access needs.

Previously, I managed NIST-aligned assessments, authorization documentation, POA&Ms, and remediation at Walgreens, and supported vulnerability analysis, compliance assessments, and risk recommendations at ATA Technologies. I bring over six years of enterprise security experience across financial services, healthcare, and information assurance.
