I just received this award from Cyber Defense Magazine, and I am bowled over. Seriously, humbled… AND SO PROUD of K Melton and Mark Carney for their incredible contributions for their 4 years of insanity with me in a 19 year project. And to the other credited intrepid folks who called out my BS before I published. WOW. Just WOW! Infinite thanks to everyone who has followed and maybe supported some of my ideas over the years.
Growing up in Appalachia into intergenerational poverty and genetic afflictions, I faced a world of extremes from the start. Through a relentless pursuit to better myself and overcome adversity, I carved a path to success.
Now, as a cybersecurity awareness expert and DEI advocate, I leverage my experiences to help others unlock their potential and similarly thrive in inclusively inspiring environments.
Over a decade’s experience herding high-performance creative tigers, fostering innovation, extensive change management, DEI & accessibility advocacy, and enhancing digital literacy for any demographic.
