About Tracey Garrett

I am a versatile cybersecurity and IT professional with a proven track record across higher education, corporate security governance, and military environments. As a Cybersecurity Technician at Arizona State University, I protected network and system integrity using bash scripting, Linux administration, penetration testing, and cloud security practices. As a Technology Coordinator, I managed Office 365 and Active Directory, maintained network and Wi-Fi stability, and led help desk operations to ensure seamless IT support.I also served as an Information Security Analyst at Wells Fargo. I contributed to a high-paced security governance team responsible for the annual review and documentation of security baselines for over high-risk products. I collaborated with technology teams to ensure product owners adhered to security compliance requirements using frameworks such as NIST, CIS, and STIG. My work involved extensive use of Jira, Confluence, Archer, and Microsoft products, requiring extreme attention to detail, multitasking, and self-learning of new technologies. I identified process improvement opportunities, provided recommendations for resolving complex security issues, and ensured compliance with policies, procedures, and risk standards.My foundational leadership, discipline, and composure under pressure were developed through my military service as a Navy Corpsman, where I delivered critical medical support in high-stakes environments. These qualities have consistently enhanced my effectiveness and reliability in cybersecurity and IT roles. I also hold multiple CompTIA certificates in IT fundamentals, server, and security, which attest to my proficiency and commitment to cybersecurity. DOD Secret Clearance eligible
