I’m a results-driven cybersecurity and IT professional with over a decade of experience supporting secure infrastructure, regulatory compliance, and systems administration across higher education and public service environments. My expertise spans identity and access management (IAM), governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), and incident response—backed by hands-on proficiency in system hardening, vulnerability remediation, and access control across Windows, Linux, and virtualized platforms.


I specialize in implementing security frameworks aligned with NIST and ISO 27001 standards, conducting risk assessments, and supporting internal and external audits. Whether advising on policy integration, leading technical deployments, or translating complex security concepts for diverse stakeholders, I bring a collaborative, equity-driven approach to every engagement.
Available for freelance projects, consulting, and strategic partnerships focused on cybersecurity engineering, GRC initiatives, and regulatory alignment in education, healthcare, and mission-driven sectors.
