About me

I am currently completing the vCISO Cybersecurity Risk Assessment Externship with vCISO Services, assessing a client's claims intake service and documenting findings backed by evidence.

In this externship I am assessing the claims intake service of a medical billing company ahead of a major customer's security review. The work covers scoping the engagement, building an asset inventory, documenting findings with the evidence behind each one, and ranking the risks for leadership. It mirrors how I already work: find the gap in the data or the process, get the right people aligned, and document it so it holds up. I am finishing my B.S. in Information Technology Management at WGU.
