I am a successful cybersecurity thought leader at a prominent tech start up; helping to secure pipelines, power grids, manufacturing facilities, and other critical infrastructure from cyberattacks. I have an interesting background in consulting, working at a nuclear laboratory, studying cyberwarfare in grad school, and serving six years in the US Navy.
I started my company Steps2STEM because throughout my journey I have picked up some insights along the way that has helped prepare and propel me to the next level in my career. These insights have led me to be an agency advisor and professional development mentor to my alma mater Florida International University (FIU) for years, but I am ready to share these insights with a broader audience, so I can help as many as I can. I speak on various topics from resume building, strategically applying for jobs, building a LinkedIn presence, negotiating salaries, understanding benefits, networking your way into success, and how to break into a cybersecurity career. When I left the military, I had no idea I would be where I am today. Let me share that journey so it can help others.
