Honestly, it is not a long walk from one to the other. Don't misunderstand me, they are different, but the core processes of each discipline are the same. For both you must analyze and track large amounts of media and its metadata, and then utilize that information for storytelling. You must have an excellent sense of the wider scope while also being able to drill down on the smallest detail to find the nuanced meaning, to understand its implication and then exploit it to its fullest potential. That is the role of an Editor, that is the role of a Colorist, that is the role of a Cybersecurity Analyst. I have always had this mindset and so the pivot to cyber security feels to me more of a lateral move. A new pursuit that simply uses a different vocabulary.

I am currently a Tier 1 SOC Analyst at Cybernow Labs. They offer MDR solutions in which Splunk ES, Crowdstrike, Proofpoint and Jira are part of my daily tool set. For 10+ years prior, I have been an Independent Contractor in New York City. Self made, self motivated and self employed.

I've been working on both windows and macs since Windows95 and Mac OS 8. I am Security+ certified and a AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner with my sights set on becoming a Cloud Security Architect. My LinkedIN page has my other Certs, Badges and Recommendations.

At heart, I am a creative problem solver with a highly detail oriented nature . I have channeled those traits into successful careers in my past and now focusing that energy in cybersecurity.
