Summary

I am a results-driven Cybersecurity and Network Security Professional with a Master of Science in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance from Western Governors University and over eight years of combined military and civilian experience in network communications, cyber defense, and IT operations. As a U.S. Army Network Communication Systems Specialist (25H), I gained extensive hands-on experience configuring and securing complex network infrastructures, managing incident response operations, and ensuring system integrity in mission-critical environments. My time in the G6 Cyber Defense Section strengthened my skills in vulnerability management, threat detection, and compliance with NIST RMF and DoD security frameworks.

In the civilian sector, I have supported Verizon’s Network Assurance team, monitoring large-scale 4G/5G transport networks, troubleshooting outages, and collaborating with field engineers to restore service and maintain operational resilience. My technical expertise extends across network defense, firewall configuration, VPN management, SIEM monitoring, IDS/IPS, and cloud security. I continuously expand my skills through hands-on projects and labs from TryHackMe, Coursera, and Udemy, applying real-world techniques to enhance network protection and cyber readiness. Passionate about building secure, reliable infrastructures, I bring a balance of discipline, technical precision, and leadership to every mission — ensuring that both people and systems remain protected in a constantly evolving threat landscape.
