About

Introduction

I have more than a decade year of experience in cybersecurity. I've taught and mentored 5,000 students, and over the past few years, I have been a Professor at UW teaching Cybersecurity classes to undergraduates and masters students across. My expertise spans Security Analysis, Pen Testing, Privacy Engineering, Cyber Crime, Cyber Risks, and Open-Source Intelligence. Most importantly, I'm passionate about bringing people and perspectives together. I created my Podcast called Cyber Security Awareness which brings a multidisciplinary approach and solutions to cyber security challenges. I also was a Founding Member of the Diversity & Inclusion Council at UW, where I bring industry Cybersecurity experts. Finally, I regularly speak and give talks in the industry.
