I am focused on graduate study at the intersection of engineering management, systems engineering, and physical security. As a Security Installation Lead and U.S. Air Force veteran, I manage complex projects that protect critical facilities. My interests include cyber-physical security integration, reliability and maintainability, quality systems, risk governance, and decision modeling. I enjoy turning data into practical improvements in safety, cost, and schedule performance. Academically, I have two master’s degrees in Management and I am pursuing an M.S. in Engineering Management. I recently completed OSHA 30 and I am pursuing the PSP certification to strengthen my technical and leadership foundation. My goal is to advance into security program leadership and contribute applied research that improves real-world mission outcomes.
