After almost two decades in IT and Tech Support Operations for Silicon Valley startups and enterprises, I discovered my love for cybersecurity after taking over the customer-facing communities for a popular security vendor in 2014. Over the next three years, I helped hundreds of security teams across the globe solve hardware, networking, product and security issues.

After completing my Masters in Information and Knowledge Strategy, I practically stumbled into vCISO work. Since 2019, I’ve brought my deep history in knowledge strategy, collaboration and culture to securing small and mid-sized businesses. I have served on the Board of Directors for The Diana Initiative, a group committed to fostering diversity in cybersecurity, and as a contributor/mentor to the Women’s Society of Cyberjutsu.

As a digital nomad running a small consulting firm, I deeply feel the needs of smaller business owners trying to protect their company and customer data.
