I’ve been in IT Security for 15+ years, from working in a Security Operations Center as a data analyst to multiple engineering roles. As a consultant, I’ve performed penetration testing and designed and implemented MSSPs for endpoint security, phishing, vulnerability assessment, and remediation. I worked in the merger and acquisition security assessment space during COVID-19 when large companies bought small companies. I’ve built cybersecurity roadmaps using frameworks like CIS Security Controls and presenting risks to executives and senior management.
A couple of Fun Facts about me: I rode a bike across America from Washington, DC, to San Francisco, CA, (over 4,300 miles) for Habitat for Humanity while in college with 25 other crazy people, and I currently referee men’s college basketball.
