Minnesota Army National Guard
Minnesota Army National Guard, Military Police Officer
Stillwater, MN | January, 2016 - February, 2024
My journey in the Minnesota Army National Guard has been an incredible source of growth and learning, providing me with experiences that resonate deeply with my transition into cybersecurity. During my deployment to Erbil Airbase (EAB), Iraq, I had the opportunity to make a significant impact by identifying the need for a Motor Vehicle Supervision Program. This led to the development of a comprehensive Army policy, crafted in collaboration with key leaders, ensuring the safety of over 4,000 Service Members. This experience taught me the importance of proactive risk mitigation and the value of clear, strategic policy implementation—lessons directly applicable to the world of cybersecurity, where anticipating and preventing threats is paramount
