About I’m a lifelong learner with interests in technology, physical and information security, investigations, digital forensics, intelligence gathering, human behavioral analysis, incident response, and psychology.

I started my career as an EMT and registered nurse after graduating from Villanova University with bachelor's degrees in Psychology and Nursing. After several years as an intensive care unit nurse, I decided to leave the medical field and pursue my long time interest in cybersecurity professionally. Along with a lot of self-study, I graduated from the cybersecurity professional bootcamp at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in 2022 and began working as a Cybersecurity Analyst and Engineer for the Global Security Operations Center at Chubb Insurance, where I continue to work today.

At Chubb, I primarily function as a Tier 1 - Tier 2 SOC Analyst, while also assisting in some engineering and threat hunting operations. Other than incident response, I'm interested in digital forensics, threat hunting, and teaching.

Outside of my work duties, I also help new or aspiring cybersecurity professionals learn more about cybersecurity and the opportunities available to them, and participate on various online cybersecurity forums where I do my best to answer questions, provide advice/recommendations, and explain concepts so feel free to connect with me and ask for advice!
