I am a security ambassador with a broad range of IT skills and knowledge and a passion for sharing them with learners and professionals worldwide. As an author for LinkedIn, Packt Publishing, and CompTIA, I have over 8 years of experience creating engaging and informative courses and books on topics related to IT security. Subject areas include ethical hacking, biometrics, Wireshark, CyberOps, and the Internet of Things (IoT). I hold an MS in computer information systems/information assurance from UMGC and have presented at several national conferences as an award-winning speaker. I was also an associate professor in the IT department at Pennsylvania College of Technology for 17 years, until my retirement in 2020. My mission is to educate and inspire people to protect themselves and their organizations from cyber threats and empower them with the tools and techniques to do so. I am involved with various volunteer activities, and enjoy bike riding, watching movies, and traveling with my husband Mike.
