About
Experienced clinical engineering network specialist with a strong history of medical device repair and device networking. I have had over 15 years of experience in the clinical engineering field and have taken my knowledge and education and transferred it in to a career in helping medical facilities manage risk associated with IoMT (Internet of Medical Things) devices. It is my passion to discover and create new and inventive ways to meet the challenges associated with keeping networked medical devices safe and protected from cyber-attacks. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in information technology with a specialization in network administration and am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in cyber-security administration.
