With over a decade at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, my journey to today started years ago in the U.S, Navy as a cryptotech and eventually onto becoming a System Administrator, Physical Security Specialist, Senior Security Specialist, and currently a Deputy Division Director with Homeland Security. This journey has imbued me with profound skills in security management and program management. My Bachelors in Cybersecurity Management from Champlain College underpins my dedication to safeguarding our nation's interests. At the core of my professional ethos is a commitment to enhancing security awareness and resilience within the governmental framework. Our team's mission aligns with my personal values of integrity and excellence, and together, we're forging robust defenses against evolving threats both physical and cyber.
