With over 10 years of work experience in various fields, I am a versatile and adaptable professional who strives to make a positive impact on society. As a Claims Specialist at the Social Security Administration since 2020, I apply my expertise in cybersecurity and financial crime to protect the integrity and security of the Social Security system. I also leverage my analytical and presentation skills to communicate effectively with beneficiaries, colleagues, and stakeholders. In addition, I am an Adjunct Professor at San Juan College and Mohawk Valley Community College, where I share my knowledge and passion for criminal justice, homeland security, and information technology with students and faculty. I hold a Ph.D. in Criminal Justice with a focus on Homeland Security from Liberty University, as well as multiple degrees and certifications in cybersecurity, financial crime, and compliance from Utica College. I am also a recipient of several honors and awards, including the Dean's Honor List and the Employee of the Month. I am driven by the mission of serving the public interest, enhancing the quality of life, and advancing the field of cybersecurity and financial crime prevention. I value collaboration, diversity, and innovation, and I seek to bring these values to the SSA and the academic community.
