I am driven by curiosity.
Competencies Include:
Polished Speaking and Presentation Skills in both academic and professional environments ǀ Strategic Planning and Management ǀ Multicultural Awareness ǀ Project Leadership ǀ Information Assurance ǀ Risk Management ǀ Asset Protection and Management
Always looking to challenge myself with new areas of learning and to further enhance areas that I am already familiar with. I am driven by a quest for knowledge and skills to set others up for success.
My colleagues say I have worked tirelessly to develop myself as a leader, educator, and researcher in the field of cybersecurity. I helped establish and sustain international global operations centers focused on network health and defense, and I am deeply passionate about all topic’s cybersecurity.
If you would like to discuss what I can do to support the cyber security of your operations, reach out to me by direct message. Additionally, I actively seek out opportunities to share my knowledge at the college level by teaching, to help give back to my profession and to my field.
