Best Story
I love to share the story of my career pivots across industries and roles. I've built an entire career portfolio by navigating multiple career changes all while building transferable skills. I often refer to myself as an "inside outsider" as I have developed strategies for leveraging being an "outsider" to the benefit of potential employers, current employers and myself! I've built a career battling through feelings of imposter syndrome to find a way to tell my own story and help others see the value I can bring to an organization and/or team. My love for learning and willingness to constantly challenge my own status quo has been the key to my success. I'm passionately committed to helping others leverage what makes them "uniquely you" to build a successful career.

Example talks
PRESENTATION/DISCUSSION MODERATION: Governing with Robots: What does an AI-enabled GRC future look like?
We’ve all seen the headlines with Artificial Intelligence (AI) making a big splash in the news! Even lawyers have already been (in)famous for their (mis)use of AI. Surely, there is a future in governing with robots, but with all this bad press, what does an AI-enabled GRC future look like? The goal of this session is to create a new design for Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) which is responsibly and safely enabled by Artificial Intelligence (AI). This presentation is targeted for tech industry professionals and uses discussion groups to generate ideas for developing an AI-enabled GRC program that enables and enhances cyber security practices. During the session, we’ll discuss ideas about how to address the pain points and pitfalls of AI, as well as how to engage reluctant leaders and get their support for an AI-enabled GRC program.
This presentation is scheduled for the 2024 Women in Cybersecurity Conference!

PRESENTATION: The Inside Outsider
I've made a career of being an outsider inside my own organization. Being "weird" is what's made my career wonderful, but it often puts me in the position of being "the only one in the room who..." Who am I? I'm an elementary school teacher who loves math! I'm a writer for one of the world's most renowned financial institutions! I'm a communications expert on a technology team! For those who are struggling with imposter syndrome, a lack of diversity on their team, or simply being the "weirdo" in the room, this presentation aims to help you embrace (and even leverage!) what makes you uniquely YOU. My career might be one of a kind (like me), but I actually prefer the challenge.
