About
I'm a Network and Security professional focused on protecting healthcare
organizations from the threats that never stop coming. With a Security+
foundation and CCNA in progress, I specialize in the unique
intersection of clinical environments and IT infrastructure — where a network failure
isn't just an inconvenience, it's a patient safety issue.
My background in healthcare and education gives me something most IT professionals
lack — I understand the environment I'm protecting, not just the technology.
