I am a cybersecurity advisor with the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), where I help secure critical infrastructure throughout Oregon to enhance national resilience. I collaborate with government agencies, local communities, and industry leaders to assess cybersecurity risks, improve operational resilience, and support preparedness through joint planning, security controls, assessments, and exercises.

My background covers enterprise security architecture, risk management, identity and access management, and critical infrastructure protection. I've led initiatives that turn cybersecurity strategy into practical, measurable results. I'm passionate about building partnerships across disciplines and empowering organizations to move beyond mere compliance toward lasting resilience.

Prior to joining CISA, I served as the lead technical security expert for a diverse organization representing key sectors such as transportation, public safety, and essential infrastructure. I implemented layered security across IT and OT environments, managed high-stakes audits, and ensured compliance. My hands-on approach safeguarded complex operations and strengthened resilience organization-wide.

As an advisor, I enjoy making complex cybersecurity topics accessible to diverse audiences and believe meaningful progress stems from collaboration, shared responsibility, and a commitment to protecting the systems our nation relies on.
