Witnessing the devastating impact of ransomware attacks on healthcare systems firsthand fueled my commitment to cybersecurity. Protecting critical infrastructure, especially in sectors where people’s lives are at stake, has become my mission. Through my certifications—CompTIA Security+, ISC2 CC, and the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate—I have developed key skills in risk management, threat detection, secure network architecture, and vulnerability assessment. My hands-on training has deepened my technical knowledge, and I am excited to apply these capabilities to defend organizations against evolving cyber threats.With over 20 years of experience in IT across diverse roles, I bring transferable skills that are invaluable in today’s cybersecurity landscape. In my most recent position at Yale New Haven Health System's Corporate Professional Business Systems (CPBS) division, I provided Tier 1 technical support and liaised with offsite IT Desktop Support. I also deployed and managed the department’s SharePoint site and developed revenue cycle reports for business users, demonstrating my ability to support both technology and business operations. My extensive background as a Senior Programmer/Analyst and Enterprise Applications Administrator at United Natural Foods, Inc., where I implemented and managed critical systems such as ADP HR payroll, SharePoint, and BMC Remedy, honed my problem-solving and technical leadership skills. Previous roles as an Oracle Reports Developer for the State of Maine’s Department of Health and Human Services and as a self-employed small business owner have sharpened my ability to adapt to new technologies, manage systems, and troubleshoot complex issues.I’m eager to connect with professionals and organizations who are looking for a proactive, technically proficient cybersecurity specialist with a passion for protecting digital environments. Let’s collaborate to strengthen your organization’s security posture and tackle today’s most pressing cybersecurity challenges. Feel free to reach out—I’m always open to opportunities and conversations.
