About
With over 5 years of experience in cybersecurity and compliance, I am passionate about protecting the data and privacy of patients and healthcare providers. I have a master's degree in library and information science, with a focus on archiving, preservation, and records management, which gives me a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities of managing medical data. I currently work as a medical device cybersecurity manager at Tempus Labs, a leading company that uses artificial intelligence and genomic data to advance precision medicine.
