In my path as a Multidisciplinary Leader and Cybersecurity Advocate, I am driven by a passion for strengthening digital security and equipping the next generation of leaders to shape our future. I currently serve as the Senior Cybersecurity Operations Lead at Auburn University, where I drive security innovation and operational excellence - spearheading our Security Operations Center, collaborating to enhance GRC functions, and leading many efforts to push for cultural changes around cybersecurity at the University. As a leadership thought leader, I develop and share tools and techniques for leadership development training and education. Through my edcuation and mentor roles I teach and guide learners at various institutions such as Purdue University Global and Emeritus (MITxPro), bridging practical skills with critical thinking in cybersecurity and technology.
