About

— TL;DR — I provide structure to the unstructured by organizing chaos, aligning people of all backgrounds towards a common goal, and doing what’s needed to get !@#$ done and drive toward impactful outcomes. — Who Am I? — I’ve spent my career at the intersection of technical program delivery and cybersecurity, proactively mitigating friction by streamlining cross-functional delivery so teams can focus on securely building, scaling, and innovating confidently. I take pride in championing positive change, fostering continuous improvement, and creating environments where curiosity and collaboration thrive. My core competencies include: - PMP, CSP-SM, CSP-PO certified; hands-on collaborator and servant leader - Strategic program leader, reducing friction and streamlining cross-functional delivery - Transparent communicator, building alignment and trust across globally distributed teams - Adaptable and resilient in fast-moving, asynchronous, and ambiguous environments - Customer-centric advocate for usability, productivity, and trust - Security and privacy champion As a first-generation college graduate, I also find purpose in mentoring others navigating socio-economic challenges. I’ve had the honor of mentoring students directly through programs like iMentor and BASTA, and contributing to organizations such as JerseySTEM. Whether through my roles or philanthropic efforts, I’m passionate about empowering others to succeed. Let’s connect if you're like-minded, interested in sharing knowledge, or collaborating on technology and security-forward initiatives!
