I am a strategic security and risk management leader with more than 25 years of experience protecting people, assets, and operations across complex environments, from higher education and corporate settings to public safety and critical infrastructure. Throughout my career, I’ve led cross-functional teams, managed multimillion-dollar budgets, and implemented large-scale security and crisis management programs that strengthened organizational resilience and reduced risk exposure. My background includes extensive experience in investigations, physical and electronic security systems, vendor and contract management, and compliance with federal and regional regulations. Known for building collaborative relationships across agencies and departments, I excel at bringing structure and clarity to complex challenges, whether leading crisis response, designing new operational strategies, or mentoring high-performing teams. I’m passionate about creating secure, efficient, and adaptive environments where innovation and safety coexist.
