This artifact is a comprehensive academic paper I wrote for my Cybersecurity Policy and Strategy course at Old Dominion University. It evaluates the effectiveness of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) by incorporating real-world policy implications, expert evaluations from scholarly research, and ethical and social dimensions surrounding cybersecurity. I synthesized insights from several prior research papers to create a more holistic assessment of how the CSF operates in both theory and practice. This paper demonstrates my ability to critically analyze cybersecurity strategies and reflect on their broader societal impact. It also shows my growth in written communication and policy evaluation—skills that are essential in cybersecurity leadership roles.

2. Technical Writing and Documentation

Artifact #1: NACCFI Applicant’s Handbook

This artifact is the official NACCFI Applicant’s Handbook, which I contributed to as a volunteer technical writer. My role involved assisting in drafting and editing sections related to credentialing tiers, ethical guidelines, and interview protocols. Collaborating with NACCFI’s leadership, I helped ensure the handbook’s content was clear, professional, and accessible to applicants. This experience enhanced my technical writing skills and provided insight into the development of professional documentation in the field of child forensic interviewing.

Artifact #2: Cyber Law Memorandum – Data Privacy and Protection

This artifact is a professional memorandum I wrote as part of my Cyber Law course, where I took on the role of an aide to a fictional governor. The assignment required me to communicate complex cybersecurity and legal issues—specifically data privacy and protection—in a clear, concise, and persuasive format. I discussed core concepts like biometric data, PII, GDPR, and legislative implications while tailoring the message for a government audience. This artifact demonstrates my ability to translate legal and technical language into policy recommendations and showcases my growth in technical writing and public-sector communication.

3. Professional Communication and Team Collaboration

Artifact #1: Cybersecurity Awareness Group Project Presentation

This artifact is a slide deck representing a group project I completed during a cybersecurity course. Our team developed a campus-wide awareness campaign to help students understand basic cybersecurity practices. My role was to lead research and coordinate the messaging and delivery of our campaign. We collaborated to design educational materials, host events, and measure the impact of our efforts. This project demonstrated my ability to work in a team environment, communicate technical topics clearly, and contribute to a shared mission—all critical components of effective cybersecurity collaboration.
