What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my analytical skills and allows for professional growth in a collaborative environment.

I am an experienced professional with over seven years in background investigation and intelligence analysis. My career has been marked by a commitment to uncovering anomalies and trends in data, particularly in high-stakes environments. As an Insider Threat Analyst at Parsons, I analyze targeted data to identify potential threats and produce insightful reports that drive improvements in government technology systems.

Previously, I served as an Intelligence Analyst at Acclaim Technical Services, where I conducted comprehensive research and analysis on counterintelligence and national security threats. My ability to collaborate with various government agencies has been pivotal in facilitating intelligence collection and ensuring national safety. I take pride in my analytical skills and my dedication to producing high-quality intelligence products that inform decision-making.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to communicate complex information clearly and effectively, whether through briefings or detailed reports. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to a secure and informed environment, and I am eager to continue growing in the field of intelligence analysis.
