Passion
My passion is enabling qualified, diverse individuals equal opportunities in the technology and cybersecurity fields. Diversity in thought, which is most easily achieved by diverse individuals, is a key to success in many areas including the technology and cybersecurity fields.
Best Story
“You are a girl. You can’t do that.”
It is difficult to count how many times I have heard this during my lifetime. Due to my competitive "watch me" spirit, it is really almost a blessing when someone makes this statement. This challenge has enabled me to reach achievements that I never thought possible. From an early age in sports and throughout my work in the technology field, this was a common theme over and over. I have consistently proven family, fellow students, and colleagues with this perspective wrong.
Origin Story
30+ years ago when I graduated from college with a BS in Applied Computer Science, the technology field was vastly male dominated. While improvements have been made in this area, there is still a lot of work to do to encourage diverse interest in the technology field. I was very fortunate to have teachers that supported my interests. But, even with this support, the fact that there were very few diverse leaders in the technology field at the time meant that in many cases I had to forge my own path.
I am now extending my career into the Cybersecurity field which also suffers from a need for diverse talent. Diversity in thought, which is most easily achieved by diverse individuals, is a key to success in many areas including Cybersecurity, and I am planning to take this message forward.
Example talks
Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)-> Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC) -> AI Enhanced SSDLC
Cyberthreats have amplified the need to introduce security tasks into every phase of the Software Development Lifecycle. By skipping the planning of appropriate budget and resources for security tasks during the software development lifecycle, Total Cost of Ownership, Technical Debt, Outstanding Vulnerabilities, and business risk will most likely increase.
The Secure Software Development Lifecycle provides best practice guidelines for every phase in the SDLC. AI is targeted to revolutionize software development and to enhance the SSDLC.
