Summary
Former active duty US Army Intelligence Analyst with an active security clearance (ETS date 08/17/2023). Within my assigned organizations I oversaw the security clearance process for US Soldiers and helped them resolve any issues that may impact their clearance while remaining proactive in preventing security violations. I also maintained high value security and intelligence systems and stored them in accordance with regulations and protocols. During my time in Korea and Poland I frequently conducted training with host nation soldiers, providing a US perspective of intelligence analysis.
