Who I Am

I am a Cybersecurity Administrator and IT Security professional with a unique edge — combining deep technical expertise with over two decades of physical security, auditing, and leadership experience.

Currently at Morgan State University, I oversee email security infrastructure, lead DMARC implementation projects, manage endpoint detection and response, and develop enterprise-wide security awareness programs.

Before transitioning fully into cybersecurity, I spent 16 years at TJX Corporation as a Loss Prevention leader — managing security operations across 120+ retail locations, conducting regional audits, leading internal investigations, and installing camera and alarm systems from the ground up.

I am driven by the challenge of protecting organizations from both digital and physical threats, and I bring a strategic, cross-disciplinary perspective that few candidates can offer.
