Severe Security Consulting

I was first introduced to Security when I accepted a Human Resource Manager (HRM) / Contractor Special Security Officer (CSSO) position with a government contractor. I was drawn to Security, moving out of HR to support the company as a Facility Security Officer (FSO), Insider Threat Program Senior Official (ITPSO), and SCIF Site Security Manager (SSM). I oversaw a SCIF build out, working directly with the CORs, and the contracting company through accreditation. In 2019, I was extended an opportunity to provide security consulting services remotely. This decision ultimately changed the course of my life, allowing more flexibility for family and work, the start of a business, and an organically grown business and team.

I began my Security Career in October 2023. I was born and raised in North Texas and graduated from Texas Tech University. I began a career in Finance as a Financial Advisor. In 2023, I moved to Maryland which brought many new opportunities, including a career change with Severe Security Consulting LLC.

As an Alternate Contractor Special Security Officer (ACCSO) and Security Specialist, I facilitate administrative security processes, assist with clearance processing, support various agencies, and ensure DoD compliance.

My attention to detail and prior financial services experience helped me to adapt quickly to the government contract industry and similar strict compliance measures. I thoroughly enjoy creating relationships and trust that we build with our clients. I believe that is such an important foundation in this industry. All our clients feel like family to us and as a result we can provide a truly solid security program.

In my 14 years supporting the DoD, I've held various roles, staring as Security Officer, then moving into Personnel Security. I joined the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), where I served as a floating Security Manager, establishing security programs across various organizations, supporting the Threat Modeling Center and managing over 500 badges for personnel and VIPs during Flight Test operations for Ground-Based Midcourse Missile Defense support.

I oversaw multiple SAPF/SCIF spaces, managed personnel security clearance Systems of Records (SORs) and led the installation of a new badging system, as the COMSEC custodian. My experience includes conducting security awareness briefings and acting as the Insider Threat Program Liaison Officer.

 I have 17 years of experience in Business Management for various companies and government entities, however, my previous role was with the Public Safety Department at the Medical University of South Carolina. I oversaw the Finance, Human Resources, and Information Technology Security divisions. My roots are in Maryland, but I currently reside in Charlotte, NC.

As the Personnel Resource Manager for SSC, I am tasked with supporting the needs of both internal and external business holders in areas such as finance, business consulting, and strategic growth. I hold a master’s degree in business administration. Since August 2024, I've felt the positive impact the SSC Team has on our clients. They are treated as an extension of us and only the highest of standards are accepted.
