I started my career as a hospital corpsman in the United States Navy in 2003, which was the honor of a lifetime. I have continued serving as a federal government employee since 2007. I currently work for the Department of Veteran Affairs as a Medical Administrative Specialist where I have the pleasure of training our scheduling department I have served our Veterans with the VA for the last ten years. I earned my associates degree from Bryant & Stratton College in 2015 in Security Technology. I also studied and earned my license in real estate and have been cultivating a second career in the real estate field for the last three years.  My passion is training and customer service, I guess that is engrained in me from the beginning of my career. I am excited and looking forward to what my cybersecurity journey and future will look like.
