Senior Cybersecurity Advisor & Digital Diplomat with over 15 years of experience working at the nexus of national security, cyber strategy, and international cooperation. I assist governments, defense organizations, and strategic partners in developing sustainable cybersecurity programs that prioritize governance, workforce development, and mission-aligned resilience. My focus is on elevating cyber readiness—translating complex environments into structured, long-term improvements in policy, operations, and coordination. I specialize in aligning diverse stakeholders, building trust across borders, and delivering outcomes that support both national and allied objectives. With leadership experience spanning federal service, defense operations, and the private sector, I bring a unique blend of technical depth, strategic vision, and diplomatic insight to every engagement. I hold a Master of Science in Cybersecurity and a Master of Professional Studies in Strategic Leadership, as well as advanced cybersecurity certifications and an active security clearance. I’m driven by purpose, partnership, and progress—and always open to conversations about how we can build a more secure and cooperative world.
