Summary
With over eight years of experience as an intelligence analyst, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of intelligence operations across the tactical, strategic, and cyber domains. I began my career working at the tactical level, gaining firsthand experience supporting mission critical real world operations. I have over three years working strategic intelligence at the Pentagon where I briefed senior leaders and policy makers within the DoD and Intelligence Community. For the past year, I have been focused on cyber intelligence at U.S. Marine Corps Forces Cyberspace Command, located on NSA campus in Maryland. My work consistently requires strong critical thinking, public speaking, and interagency collaboration. I hold an active TS/SCI clearance with a current CI polygraph and possess a Bachelor’s degree in Intelligence Studies. I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree to continue advancing my expertise in the field.
