I am a cybersecurity consultant with over 5 years of experience with a passion for the transformative power of web3 technology. My career has been a journey of continuous growth, starting in high school, winning and placing at multiple national cybersecurity competitions, leading me into cybersecurity consulting.

In the early stages of my career, I honed my skills in system administration, computer networking, client relations, and cybersecurity, working with big consulting companies like Converge One, and for a smaller startup consulting company, 1898 & Co. At 1898 & Co people were expected to be autonomous. Being 20 years old I quickly had to sink or swim. I led projects ranging from operational policy/procedure creation and a range of assessments to technical projects such as firewall and security product implementation. Throughout the project working with other consultants as well as managing client expectations. During this time, I’ve obtained 14 certifications in my field that continue to build my knowledge and help our team with partnerships.

On the side, I got interested in blockchain and web3 technology because of its synergies with cybersecurity. I became active on web3 twitter and began learning the technology, big players, and the transformation at play.
In 2023 I spoke at NFT NYC about NFT mass adoption and in 2024, I’ll be speaking about enterprise security considerations for NFTs.

Now, I am eager to apply my unique blend of skills, experience, and passion to a new challenge
in the web3 space. I am ready to leverage my knowledge of cybersecurity, cyber risk, business operation, knowledge of blockchain technology, and smart contract programming to make a difference in this emerging space.
