Rachel Morgante

Management and Program Analyst @Cybersecurity And Infrastructure Security Agency

WA, US

At CISA, I led enterprise-level initiatives that enhanced operational efficiency, modernized systems, and strengthened cybersecurity readiness. I optimized HR workflows by launching a new system, gathering user-driven requirements, overseeing testing and training, and achieving measurable time savings for managers. I championed the use of AI through a Microsoft Copilot pilot, identifying practical use cases and generating significant time savings across a employee user base.In response to a critical cybersecurity incident, I directed a swift and effective recovery effort—restoring operations within 48 hours and reinforcing long-term security practices. I also advanced the CIO’s strategic maturity by implementing a project intake and prioritization framework, reducing decision-making timelines by 10 days.With a focus on stakeholder engagement, I delivered data-driven visualizations and tailored use cases that resulted in full executive buy-in. Whether optimizing training programs or conference logistics, I consistently drive innovation, collaboration, and measurable impact.
