I am a dedicated cybersecurity professional and software engineer with a robust foundation in digital forensics, system engineering, and full-stack development. With a B.S. in Information Technology (concentration in Cyber Security) and currently completing my M.S. in Digital Forensics at George Mason University, I have cultivated a unique blend of technical knowledge and hands-on experience across both public and private sectors. My professional journey has spanned from educating young students in coding fundamentals to supporting mission-critical projects for the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Homeland Security. At Booz Allen Hamilton, I have been instrumental in developing and enhancing secure microservices using Spring Boot and improving user experiences through modern front-end frameworks. My previous roles at XTec and CACI International deepened my expertise in identity management systems, PKI, and SIEM tools such as Fortinet and Wireshark. In addition to my industry experience, I have served as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, helping bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application. This role has not only reinforced my commitment to continuous learning but also affirmed my passion for mentoring and contributing to the academic community. Driven by integrity, curiosity, and a desire to safeguard digital systems, I seek opportunities where I can continue to make meaningful contributions in cybersecurity, digital forensics, and technology education. As a U.S. citizen with an active Public Trust clearance and certifications like Security+ and Splunk Core Certified User, I am prepared to take on new challenges in advancing secure, innovative solutions that make a lasting impact.

I love to read and cook. I’m a huge fan of thrillers and mysteries. In my free time I love to experiment with cooking different dishes from various cuisines. I also love yoga and Pilates and try to work out a few times a week.
