Tier One Shift Lead @ Peraton
About
I am a cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience in Security Operations, Incident Response, and shift leadership, intentionally advancing toward ISSO, ISSM, and GRC leadership roles. My work focuses on bridging operational security with governance, risk management, and compliance to support resilient, audit-ready security programs. I bring practical experience from SOC and Cyber Incident Response environments while applying enterprise frameworks such as NIST RMF, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 42001, and FISMA to inform policy-aligned decision-making, risk assessment, and incident handling. My background allows me to translate technical findings into risk-aware actions that support organizational security objectives. I hold multiple governance and security certifications, including ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor, ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Auditor, Security+, CSA, and ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity, and I am actively preparing for CISM to further strengthen my security leadership and management capabilities. I am open to ISSO, ISSM, GRC, and FSO roles, including FSO positions as a strategic entry point into cleared security environments. My professional goal is to lead security programs with integrity, accountability, and a strong alignment between people, policy, and mission.
