I am a cybersecurity professor and experienced security professional who enjoys helping students understand not only what cybersecurity concepts mean, but how they work in real environments. I hold a Doctor of Engineering degree focused on cybersecurity and industry certifications including CISSP, CISA, CDPSE, and QSA. I bring more than a decade of professional cybersecurity experience into my teaching, allowing me to connect textbook concepts with practical situations students are likely to encounter in school, certification exams, and the workplace.

I currently teach college-level cybersecurity courses covering areas such as network security, firewalls, penetration testing, digital forensics, operating system security, intrusion detection and prevention, cryptography, and cybercrime. I have worked with undergraduate students, adult learners, career changers, and cybersecurity professionals with a wide range of experience levels. My teaching style is highly practical: I break complicated topics into understandable pieces, use realistic scenarios and hands-on examples, and then help students develop the reasoning needed to solve problems independently rather than simply memorize answers.

I can help students with cybersecurity coursework, networking and security fundamentals, Linux, ethical hacking concepts, digital forensics, security governance and risk concepts, as well as preparation for certifications such as CISSP, CISA, and Security+. I am also comfortable helping working professionals strengthen their cybersecurity knowledge, prepare for technical interviews, or better understand concepts they encounter on the job. My goal is for each student to leave a session understanding both the answer and the reasoning behind it.

Approved Subjects

Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity

I am a college cybersecurity professor with a Doctor of Engineering in Cybersecurity Analytics and more than 12 years of professional cybersecurity experience. I hold industry certifications including CISSP, CISA, CDPSE, CCSFP and QSA, and teach subjects such as network security, penetration testing, digital forensics, operating system security, cryptography, intrusion detection, and cybercrime. I help students connect cybersecurity theory to practical scenarios, labs, certification concepts, and real-world security challenges rather than relying on memorization alone. I work effectively with college students, career changers, certification candidates, and working professionals who want to strengthen their cybersecurity knowledge and problem-solving skills.
Information Technology

Information Technology

I hold a B.Sc. in Information Technology Management from American Military University and a Doctor of Engineering degree focused on Cybersecurity Analytics from GWU, supported by more than 12 years of professional technology and cybersecurity experience. As a college professor, I teach subjects including computer networking, Windows and Linux operating systems, virtualization, system administration, network security, troubleshooting, and information security. My teaching approach emphasizes practical understanding, helping students see how systems, networks, and security technologies work together while developing the problem-solving skills needed for coursework, labs, and professional IT environments. I work with college students, adult learners, career changers, and IT professionals who want to strengthen their technical foundations or advance into cybersecurity.
Linux

Linux

I am a college cybersecurity professor with extensive hands-on experience teaching Linux administration, command-line operations, networking, and system security in technical laboratory environments. I regularly work with Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, CSI, and Kali Linux while teaching students file and directory management, permissions, users and groups, processes, services, package management, logging, network configuration, firewall concepts, and troubleshooting. My instruction connects Linux commands to practical cybersecurity applications, including penetration testing, digital forensics, network security, and security monitoring. I help beginners become comfortable with the Linux terminal while also supporting college students and IT professionals working through more advanced labs and security-focused Linux tasks.
Machine Learning/ AI

Machine Learning/ AI

I hold a Doctor of Engineering degree in Cybersecurity Analytics, with doctoral research applying machine learning techniques to cybersecurity and network anomaly detection. My research included working with LSTM neural networks and Isolation Forest models, network-traffic datasets, feature engineering, model evaluation, and the detection of anomalous behavior in IoT and manufacturing environments. I can help students understand foundational machine learning and AI concepts, supervised and unsupervised learning, anomaly detection, model performance, data preparation, and practical Python-based workflows. My approach emphasizes understanding why an algorithm works, how to interpret its results, and how machine learning can be applied to real-world problems rather than simply running prebuilt models.
Networking (Computer)

Networking (Computer)

I am a college cybersecurity professor with a B.Sc. in Information Technology Management, a Doctor of Engineering degree in Cybersecurity Analytics, and more than 12 years of professional cybersecurity experience. I teach computer networking and network security concepts including TCP/IP, subnetting, routing, switching, DNS, DHCP, NAT, VLANs, ports and protocols, packet flow, firewall rules, and network segmentation. My courses include hands-on labs using tools and technologies such as Wireshark, Nmap, pfSense, Linux, and virtualized network environments so students can see how network concepts operate in practice. I help students move beyond memorizing terminology to understanding how packets travel, how network devices make decisions, how to troubleshoot connectivity, and how networking fundamentals support cybersecurity.
