// 01 — About Me

Who I Am

I'm a cybersecurity professional based in Belleville, IL with a B.S. in Computer and Network Security from Wilmington University. Over the past five years, I've grown from a hands-on SOC analyst and vulnerability management specialist into a Security Officer and Project Manager leading security strategy for managed service clients.

My career spans enterprise-level vulnerability remediation, incident response leadership, GRC compliance, and client-facing security advisory — giving me a rare combination of deep technical skill and the ability to communicate security risk clearly to executives, engineers, and auditors alike.

I believe that the strongest security programs aren't built on tools alone — they're built on documentation, clear processes, and a culture of accountability. I've spent my career building exactly that, and I'm looking for remote opportunities where I can bring that same mindset to a team that takes security seriously.

Vulnerability Management Incident Response GRC / Compliance Security Leadership NIST 800-53 Executive Reporting Remote-Ready

My Security Philosophy

Security without clarity is noise. My approach centers on translating complex technical risk into language that drives action — board briefings, remediation roadmaps, compliance reports — whatever it takes to get people moving in the right direction.

What I'm Looking For

Remote cybersecurity roles in SOC analysis, GRC, vulnerability management, or security advisory — where I can bring enterprise-level experience and a client-first mindset to a mission-driven team.

Location & Availability

Based in Belleville, IL. Fully remote preferred. Available immediately. Open to full-time and contract engagements across the US.
