As a mission-driven cybersecurity professional with over 7 years of experience in network security, vulnerability management, and cyber policy, I bring a proven track record of protecting and strengthening critical infrastructure—both domestically and abroad. With an active TS/SCI clearance and a strong foundation in Department of Defense (DoD) security practices, I’m actively seeking cybersecurity roles where I can continue to serve national interests and secure sensitive systems.My background in the U.S. Air Force has equipped me to lead high-impact initiatives, from orchestrating large-scale vulnerability mitigation programs to directing global security operations centers. I’ve authored and implemented over 75 cybersecurity policies, driven 100% compliance across federal guidelines, and provided mentorship that has directly improved team capabilities and mission readiness.I specialize in advanced threat detection, incident response, and network hardening. I have deep experience using leading security tools including Nessus, STIG Viewer, Trellix, Splunk, and Azure Security solutions. My leadership spans both classified and unclassified environments, where I’ve combined technical precision with a strong operational mindset. I\'m certified in SSCP, CySA+, PenTest+, Security+, and more, and consistently apply this expertise to ensure the highest standards of system integrity and data protection.I’m particularly interested in opportunities within federal agencies or defense contractors where I can contribute to national security missions.
