What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth in cybersecurity and compliance.

I am an Information Systems Security Officer with over 8 years of experience in implementing and maintaining security controls for federal government systems. My expertise lies in RMF, NIST frameworks, and security architecture, where I have successfully managed security operations and incident response for various government agencies and contractors.

At Raytheon, I led RMF lifecycle activities and implemented Zero Trust principles, which significantly improved the risk posture of critical government infrastructure. I have a proven track record of delivering advanced cybersecurity training and mentoring junior ISSOs, fostering a culture of security awareness within teams. My commitment to compliance and security has resulted in 100% ATO approvals for government systems during my tenure at the Federal Home Loan Bank.
