Casino Surveillance Manager

I am an accomplished guest service professional from the casino gaming industry that has transitioned to a career in cybersecurity. I am an intuitive learner that can pick things up quickly and make valuable contributions to your team immediately. I have extensive experience in team leadership and safeguarding a company's sensitive data and assets.

I know the cybersecurity fundamentals your company requires of its analysts as demonstrated by earning the CompTIA IT Fundamentals+, A+, Network+, and Security+ certifications. I have hands-on experience with the tools and technologies used in Security Operations Centers to monitor alerts, evaluate network, application, and endpoint security, perform in-depth analyses using OSINT resources, and document incidents using incident reporting systems.

My real strengths are that I am highly organized, detail-oriented, and passionate about cybersecurity. What I am looking for is an opportunity to use my guest service experience, my ability to learn quickly, and my passion for cybersecurity at a company like yours to help you meet any challenges that arise now and in the future. 

I like reading good books from a variety of genres, though I love science fiction the best. I use crossword puzzles as a great method for both relaxing and keeping my mind sharp. Living in Las Vegas allows me to indulge in a little casual poker playing every now and then as well as attend shows by world-class entertainers. Taking a nice, long walk in the morning or evening is something I do to either start or end the day well.
