If you are interested in deep diving into my personal bio...

I like to think that much like Liam Neeson, I have a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career.  Just over 13 years (ok, maybe not that long..)

My formal education is in Accounting and Management Information Systems. This allowed me to enter the world in as an Information Technology Auditor. During this time, I made sure to participate in all the varieties of projects available to me. Information Security, Logical/Physical Security, Cybersecurity, Application Controls, Change Management, Social Engineering, Vulnerability scans and Pen testing, Data Privacy, Financial Analysis.

Once I was introduced to Data and Analytics, I was hooked and on the move. I progressed to areas where I was able to be more involved with data, specifically data governance, data management, data literacy, and data visualizations. I advanced into enterprise analytics where I was exposed to programming and data science. I even briefly served as a system administrator, which was probably my most unique experience. Well, besides my first job in Food Management.

I eventually moved back into cybersecurity where I could focus on my passion for data overlapped with security, risk, and compliance; specifically related to behavioral analytics by obtaining formal training in Behavior Design.

Circle back to my current state and mission of helping others, I am now working for myself at nerdnourishment and teaching with edX 🤓
