Courses

CIS - 133 AWS Architecting

Background and Industry Experience

I have 10 years’ experience in Higher Education IT and Department of Defense Contracting/Consulting. I’ve worked my way up from help desk to Senior Cloud Architect.

I hold degrees in cybersecurity and several certifications, including the AWS Solutions Architect Associate, which has been pivotal in my career. In my free time, I’m a big car enthusiast. I enjoy working on my Mustang GT, learning about automotive engineering. I also love gardening and growing garlic, peppers, and tomatoes in my backyard in Albuquerque. Fun fact: I mentor a 10th grader through the Big Brothers Big Sisters program and find it incredibly rewarding to give back to my community.
