About
In the world of today’s constantly emerging technologies, I am eager to learn the different ways that tech and information can be utilized, hacked, and secured. Working in information security, my priority is ensuring the security of information systems and data, and addressing risks and vulnerabilities in relation to assets and organizations.
My experience spans various domains of technology. I originally began in IT help desk and customer support, with a brief stint in software engineering and quality assurance, before switching to security administration. In my current role, I primarily work with incident response, network security analysis, endpoint protection, IPS/IDS integration, and email/spam firewall management. I additionally have experience with security risk assessments (HIPAA, NIST CSF), vulnerability testing, privileged access management, and mobile device management. My current tech interests include cloud computing (AWS), virtual reality, ethical hacking, and GIS.
I am curious to learn as much about the information security landscape as I can. As technology becomes more prevalent in every sector of the world, the attack surface becomes greater. My responsibility is ensuring that organizations have their data secured and their risks minimized.
I am a graduate of the College of IST at Penn State University, dual majoring in Information Science and Technology and Security and Risk Analysis. I currently hold a CompTIA Network+ and Security+
certification.
