// 01 — About Me

Who I Am

I'm a cybersecurity professional based in Belleville, IL with a B.S. in Computer and Network Security from Wilmington University. Over the past five years, I've grown from a hands-on SOC analyst and vulnerability management specialist into a Security Officer and Project Manager leading security strategy for managed service clients.

My career spans enterprise-level vulnerability remediation, incident response leadership, GRC compliance, and client-facing security advisory — giving me a rare combination of deep technical skill and the ability to communicate security risk clearly to executives, engineers, and auditors alike.

I believe that the strongest security programs aren't built on tools alone — they're built on documentation, clear processes, and a culture of accountability. I'm looking for remote opportunities where I can bring that mindset to a team that takes security seriously.

My Security Philosophy

Security without clarity is noise. My approach centers on translating complex technical risk into language that drives action — board briefings, remediation roadmaps, compliance reports — whatever it takes to get people moving in the right direction.

What I'm Looking For

Remote cybersecurity roles in SOC analysis, GRC, vulnerability management, or security advisory — where I can bring enterprise-level experience and a client-first mindset to a mission-driven team.

Location & Availability

Based in Belleville, IL. Fully remote preferred. Available immediately. Open to full-time and contract engagements across the US, including DoD and government positions.

// 03 — Security Clearance

DoD Clearance

🔐
Secret Clearance
U.S. Department of Defense
⏸ Inactive — Service-Expired ✓ Clearable / Re-Activatable

Held an active Secret security clearance during U.S. military service. While the clearance is currently inactive following separation from service, the background investigation and vetting history remain on record — making re-activation significantly faster than a first-time clearance process.

  • Clearance Level: Secret (DoD)
  • Status: Inactive — expired post-military service, not revoked
  • Re-activation: Eligible for expedited re-investigation through a sponsoring employer or agency
  • Value to Employers: Dramatically reduces time-to-clearance versus a new applicant — ideal for DoD contractors and federal agency positions
  • Background: Clean record; clearance was never suspended, revoked, or flagged

What This Means for You

Hiring a candidate with a prior Secret clearance means your organization can sponsor re-activation rather than initiating a full new investigation — saving months of processing time and getting cleared talent on board faster.

Ideal For

DoD contractor roles, federal civilian cybersecurity positions, intelligence community support, government GRC and RMF work, and any role requiring clearance eligibility or adjudication under NISPOM or ICD standards.

Clearance + Cybersecurity

Combining an active or re-activatable clearance with hands-on cybersecurity expertise in vulnerability management, NIST frameworks, incident response, and GRC makes this a rare profile in the cleared workforce marketplace.
