I am a Cybersecurity professional that has eight years of experience in DoD and Private industry. I’ve led teams of technicians to respond to critical security vulnerabilities around the world, and love the challenge they present. My professional career has involved four years of System Administration and four years of Computer Incident Response. I love learning about in-depth and difficult technical concepts, as well as developing methods to solve unique challenges. In my spare time I enjoy competing in Capture-the-Flag (CTF) competitions, as they demand challenging problem solving skills in deeply technical skillsets. Additionally, I have spent time creating challenges for CTFs. I really enjoy taking the time to create these problems, as it helps reinforce my understanding of the concepts in order to teach it to others. I currently hold my B.S. in Computer Networks and Security from University of Maryland University College, and I am studying for my M.S. in Cybersecurity Management and Policy. During my career, I’ve earned my CISSP, CASP, GREM, GNFA, GCFA, C|EH, CCNA, MCSA, MCP, AME, Linux+, Security+, Network+, A+, and more.
