Cybersecurity Portfolio
After several years of teaching middle school math, I made a strategic transition into cybersecurity, where I now apply my analytical mindset and problem-solving skills to protect digital environments.
Through hands-on projects in cloud security, data analysis, and threat vulnerability assessment, I’ve developed a strong foundation in identifying risks and implementing safeguards.
My unique background in education enhances my ability to communicate complex security concepts clearly—a valuable asset in collaborative cybersecurity teams.
Career Transitions
"Building Scalable Systems—My Leadership Journey Parallels IT Best Practices" I’ve designed, optimized, and led operations in high-stakes environments—much like IT infrastructure management:
Logistics & Routing: As Road Supervisor (Transit) & Yard Ops Manager, I streamlined workflows, reduced downtime, and implemented tracking systems—akin to IT network optimization
Training & Knowledge Transfer: As Academy Leader, I structured learning programs—similar to IT documentation & internal tool adoption
Customer Service Systems: As USPS Supervisor, I improved service delivery through process refinement—aligned with IT service management (ITSM)
This background proves my ability to analyze systems, lead technical teams, and implement scalable solutions—making me a strong fit for IT leadership.
