As the new Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at TxDMV, my goal is to enhance the agency’s information security program. My responsibilities include ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the agency’s data and information systems.

I have worked for the State of Texas for about 15 years, previously as the CISO for the Secretary of State. At the Office of the Secretary of State, my responsibilities included supporting critical agency operations including elections administration and business filings. I earned a BS degree in computer science from Southwest Texas State University.

I am passionate about Texas cybersecurity and protecting the sensitive data/information of all its citizens. My goal at TxDMV is to work closely with agency stakeholders to support agency operations while managing risk to agency information resources.
