About
I built and manage the cybersecurity marketing and culture program for an institution of 37,000+ that is known for excellence in research, education, and patient care. My vision for the cybersecurity marketing and culture program emphasizes empowering our diverse users to protect themselves, their work, and the institution from threats in the continually evolving cybersecurity landscape. I believe good cybersecurity is best accomplished through accessible, relatable, and informative storytelling about what’s at stake, why everyone’s efforts matter, and best practices in cybersecurity for every user. I enjoy thinking strategically and working collaboratively with my colleagues to solve varied and complex problems, and I look forward to networking with others working in the human dimension of cybersecurity.
