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.

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.
