Bio
Edward Villarreal, CISSP, CRISC
I had the honor and privilege of leading a Cyber Defense team on which Jessica provided significant day-to-day input and analysis. Her attention to detail and her dedication to the team are second-to-none. As the senior analyst on my team, her institutional knowledge and experience were unmatched and I came to rely on her judgment quite frequently. She trained new team members up to an exacting standard and mentored other personnel within Cyber Defense to the intricacies of our team. Jessica is the textbook example of "Quiet Professional" who enjoys getting her job done daily.

Jessie gets more work done in an hour then most people can do in eight. I've observed it first-hand. For the past few years, our teams have been seated in the same room, and I was fortunate enough to be assigned a workstation next to hers. No matter how much she had on her plate, Jessie could always find a few minutes to answer any questions I had about the security policies her team managed. The team went through some transition in the past year, and I watched Jessie take on the work of multiple employees. I have been endlessly impressed with her work ethic as well as her passion for learning. Jessie is not the sort of person to think her education is ever over. She was constantly seeking new opportunities to learn and grow, and she always encouraged me to do the same. Any team would be lucky to have Jessie on board.
