I enjoy making complex work feel manageable.

My experience spans IT support, cybersecurity, operations, and technical program management. That mix shapes how I work: understand the problem, bring the right people together, and turn the next step into something clear and actionable.

At Ellington Cyber Academy, I lead technical program work across the cyber range and training initiatives. I also work in healthcare IT support, where troubleshooting, documentation, and reliable systems matter every day.

I’m especially interested in security tooling, identity and access, and automation that makes teams more effective.
