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 quickly found myself drawn deeper into the field, transitioning from HR into roles as Facility Security Officer (FSO), Insider Threat Program Senior Official (ITPSO), and SCIF Site Security Manager. In this capacity, I oversaw construction of the company's first SCIF from the ground up, working closely with Contracting Officer's Representatives (CORs), Industrial Security, and the contracting company throughout the accreditation process — and ensured it stayed in compliance long after.

In 2019, I was offered the opportunity to provide remote security consulting services, a decision that changed the course of my life. It gave me the flexibility to balance family and work, and it planted the seed for what would grow into Severe Security Consulting (SSC) — a company built on the same standards of trust, compliance, and dedication I brought to that very first SCIF project.

During my 15 years supporting the DoD, I've held a range of roles, beginning as a Security Officer before advancing into Personnel & Facility Security.

I joined the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) as a Security Manager, where I implemented security programs across multiple organizations, supported the Threat Modeling Center, and managed over 500 badges for personnel and VIPs during Flight Test operations for Ground-Based Midcourse Missile Defense.

I also oversaw several Special Access Program Facility (SAPF) and Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) spaces, maintained facility and personnel security clearance Systems of Record (SORs), and, as COMSEC custodian, led the implementation of a new badging system. In addition, I conducted security awareness briefings and served as the Insider Threat Program Liaison Officer — a role that reflects my ongoing commitment to safeguarding sensitive information and personnel.

I bring 18 years of business management experience across private companies and government entities, most recently overseeing the Finance, Human Resources, and Information Technology Security divisions for the Public Safety Department at the Medical University of South Carolina. I hold a Master of Business Administration, which continues to inform my strategic and financial leadership.

As Personnel Resource and Finance Manager at SSC, I'm committed to advancing the company's strategic growth and financial performance while promoting its vision and delivering exceptional support to clients. 

Since joining the SSC Team in August 2024, I've seen firsthand the impact of a team held to the highest standards — professionals who serve not just as vendors, but as a true extension of every client they support.

I joined the SSC Team with a background in communications, marketing, and administrative support. I earned my bachelor's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Southeastern University and am currently pursuing a master's degree in Counseling at Asbury Theological Seminary. My experience has helped me develop skills in professional communication, writing, organization, and creative content development.

I enjoy combining creativity and attention to detail to support the SSC Team's day-to-day operations and growth. I value organization, collaboration, and the production of high-quality work that benefits the SSC team and the clients we support.
