About Me

With over 15 years of Federal IT experience, I have built a strong foundation across multiple CISSP domains, including Security & Risk Management, Identity & Access Management, Security Operations, and Software Development Security. I have engineered enterprise reporting systems, implemented privacy scanning and compliance programs, integrated secure backup and recovery processes, and applied secure coding practices across SharePoint, Power Apps, and COTS integrations. My work has consistently aligned with NIST, FISMA, and FedRAMP standards, while supporting Zero Trust principles and federal privacy frameworks. I maintain Security+ CE and AWS Solutions Architect – Associate certifications, hold an active Public Trust clearance, and am currently pursuing CISSP to advance into senior-level security engineering roles.

In my current role, I lead the secure development, deployment, and management of enterprise IT systems serving thousands of users nationwide. I partner with executives, vendors, and the VA Privacy Office to design and deliver compliance-driven solutions that protect sensitive information and ensure mission continuity. Notable achievements include maintaining a flawless zero-incident security record, achieving a perfect 5.0/5.0 customer satisfaction score, and delivering enterprise training to more than 12,000 stakeholders. I have progressed through from Help Desk support to Facility Webmaster and SharePoint Site Collection Administrator to my current senior-level IT Specialist position, gaining deep expertise in federal IT operations, cloud security, and privacy compliance along the way.
