My Career in Cyber:

My career in cybersecurity is characterized by a steadfast commitment to excellence and continuous improvement, no matter the dollar amount. As a United States Air Force veteran, I laid the groundwork for a career that spanned several high-stakes environments, culminating in my current role as Team Lead for Sophos Managed Detection and Response. Here, I started as a Tier 1 Security Analyst (Translating military experience to private sector jobs is really hard, as it turns out) and very quickly rose to a Senior Security Analyst within a year of joining the team and proving my expertise.

Shortly after, I was given the opportunity to become a Team Lead, which I accepted and now I steer a team of cybersecurity professionals in developing solutions for threat detection and response. My technical and managerial skills complement each other, enabling me to push my team while learning myself and improving Sophos’s Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) systems. Over the past two years here, I’ve helped significantly enhance the security postures of over 25,000 customers by implementing robust security architectures and policies and personally handling thousands of security incidents.
