Graduating from Baylor University with a focus on Religion and Western Society, I chiefly concerned myself with understanding the deep motives of people, tribes, and nations. in time, i began to crave the balance of practical, real-world experience. I joined the U.S. Army Special Forces and served as a Communications Sergeant on an Operational Detachment Alpha (ODA) in 10th Special Forces Group (SFG), exercising core competencies in tactical communication systems, critical success factors, project management, and intelligence collection. I deepened my experience by helping stand up the 10th SFG cyber detachment, and furthered my education by earning certifications in Project Management and Cyber Security. As a Cyber Operator I lead innovative research and development initiatives that enhanced 10th SFG cybersecurity capabilities.Our team's work empowered personnel across Eastern Europe through sophisticated digital vulnerability assessments. By establishing key partnerships within the cyber community, we cultivated a network that advanced our multi-domain campaigns globally. My commitment to fostering these strategic relationships aligned with our organization's culture of collaboration and excellence, ensuring that we consistently brought diverse perspectives and cutting-edge solutions to the forefront of cybersecurity operations.
