Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) and healthcare information professional with over 15 years of IT and cybersecurity experience, I have led enterprise‐wide security programs for the VA and higher‐education institutions—aligning risk management frameworks (NIST CSF, COBIT) with HIPAA, HITECH, and 38 CFR requirements. Holding CISM, CHPS, and RHIA certifications, I’ve driven audit and assessment initiatives, implemented SIEM and vulnerability management solutions, and directed incident response teams to achieve 100% SLA compliance. My background in developing security governance, delivering awareness training to 1,500+ staff, and mentoring cross‐functional teams equips me to translate complex regulatory demands into actionable controls and foster a culture of continuous security improvement. As a Management Analyst and Privacy Officer at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, I apply advanced qualitative and quantitative techniques to improve the efficiency of internal administrative operations. I adapt existing analytical methods and techniques to specific issues and develop new approaches to resolve complex productivity problems. I also establish techniques to be used in complex studies and audits, interpret and present findings from independently developed studies, and perform project-type assignments and provide higher management with reports, evaluated information, budgetary proposals and similar products necessary for effective direction of administrative operations. In addition to my role at the VA, I am also a Leadership Development Consultant at Leadership Empowerment Strategies, where I provide a full range of consultative services in Community, Nonprofit and Talent Development. I lead workshops and facilitate learning sessions in diversity, talent management, and organizational effectiveness, perform needs analysis with prospective client and key management to determine performance gaps, leadership development, content knowledge, and materials, and provide training strategies, and curriculum recommendations. I work closely with clients' managers and supervisors providing effective leadership techniques to improve employee relations and consult with business leaders to assess organizational objectives to evaluate workforce. I have over 6 years of experience in these roles, and I hold an EdD in Organizational Leadership from Argosy, a BS in Health Information Management from Alabama State University, and multiple certifications in health information management and privacy and security.
