ABOUT ME
Cybersecurity is My Passion!
Cybersecurity is My Passion!

My passion of all things cyber began with 3 boxes of computer parts and a manual given to me by my father as a birthday present. Now degreed, with several military and civilian certifications and over a decade of DOD IT & Information Security experience behind me, I have the unique experience of being able to view cybersecurity from many different aspects - including Web and Sharepoint Developer, System and Network Administrator, CIO, IAM, ISSE, ISSM and Auditor. Having taught either in person or online the majority of my professional career, I proactively seek out opportunities whenever I can by sharing with others concerning Information Security, Assurance, and Risk Management. A Subject Matter Expert in Cybersecurity specializing in cloud, container, and web applications, I am often called upon as both an Operational and Academic Resource for DOD organizations and civilian companies.

I'm passionate about all aspects of Cybersecurity. More than anything I love SHARING that passion with others. Seeing the "AH HA!" moment for my students and the excitement that generates in them, knowing their new experiences and insights will creating amazing professional growth and opportunity for them! I currently instruct in online courses in CISSP, Security + and CISM and tutor cybersecurity, as well as working as a SME for the DOD.

Having worked several years as a system and network administrator/engineer, network security is second nature. The nuances of specific enclaves and infrastructure aside, the commonalities of good network security and administration are paramount to cybersecurity!

I have dealt with RMF in regards to applications, traditional and virtual enclaves in classified and unclassified environments and on diverse platforms from both an auditing/analyst and ISSE perspective. Two sides of the same coin from a cybersecurity standpoint. I understand the nuances of different architectures, and have the ability to ensure a pragmatic, real world approach to cybersecurity based on the platform and needs of the client and their mission/goals.
