About

I've spent years managing projects and operations across tech, defense contracting, and education. Currently at Meta coordinating security programs, but my background includes budget management, procurement, project scheduling, and full program ownership. At Meta, I've turned around broken processes and built new programs from scratch. I took executive security reviews from 0% to 60% task completion, established vendor evaluation workflows, and manage bug bounty operations end-to-end. I consistently drive initiatives to 95% completion and have triaged 300+ security reviews. At Centrum, I managed defense project budgets, led configuration control boards (agendas, minutes, action item tracking), coordinated procurement and logistics, and maintained project schedules in MS Project. I also supported C-suite executives and ran HR operations. At Ignite Homeschool Coop, I managed all operations as Project Manager, increasing enrollment 15% while running admissions, creating SOPs, and coordinating teachers, parents, and students. I build systems that scale, manage budgets and timelines, coordinate cross-functional teams, and drive work to completion. Certifications: Google Project Management Professional Certificate

Security Delivery Program Management @ Meta

Apr 2022 – Present · 4 yrs 1 mo · Remote

I build operational systems that help technical teams work smarter, not harder.
At Meta, I support security programs by creating the infrastructure that keeps complex initiatives running smoothly. I'm the person who figures out what's broken, builds the processes to fix it, and trains teams to maintain it. I use AI tools to automate the tedious stuff so people can focus on the work that actually matters.
What I'm good at:**
Taking chaos and turning it into systems. I scaled our Security Consult Program from 6 to 23 weekly sessions in one year (that's 1,316 consultations in 2024). I eliminated a backlog of 331 stale security reviews by manually triaging every single one. I increased task completion from 0% to 60% across 11 product surfaces just by coordinating schedules and following up persistently.
I also run our AI vendor evaluation process—building scorecards, coordinating demos, managing cross-functional stakeholders. I use Claude, ChatGPT, and analytics agents daily to automate tracking, generate documentation, and reduce manual work.
What drives me:**
I love solving operational puzzles. Give me a broken process, unclear ownership, or a manual workflow that's eating everyone's time, and I'll build you a system that scales. I'm happiest when I'm creating runbooks, designing templates, building dashboards, and training people on processes that actually make their jobs easier.
Currently managing:**
Private Bug Bounty program operations, AI4Security vendor evaluations, Security Consult Program coordination, company-wide Privacy Waves tracking
