Continuing my role in civil service, I am currently in Yokosuka, Japan in the IA Dept of the NCTS Far East. Focused on information assurance and security, I utilized my experience from the Information Assurance Scholarship Program (IASP) with the Department of Defense and being paired with the Defense Information Systems Agency in the Washington DC metro area to take a role overseas. I have my MSIS with an Information Assurance and Security Concentration from Drexel University. I have received my GICH, CISSP & Security+ certifications with others to follow. I am also well rounded in Information Technology with experience as a financial assistant, IT consultant, programmer analyst, information security analyst, IT metrics coordinator, and developer support. I also have leadership and guidance background with my roles as an adjunct professor at Drexel University. I am well rounded, and would like to further my career in information security across all domains, especially within network defense and attack, forensics, and incident response.
