With over 20 years of progressive experience in Information Technology and more than a decade focused on cybersecurity and risk management, I bring deep technical and operational knowledge that significantly enhances the learning experience for my students. My career spans helpdesk support, network and systems engineering, IT leadership, and senior roles in cybersecurity advisory—allowing me to tutor with both breadth and depth. I’ve led PCI-DSS compliance engagements for Fortune 500 clients like Amazon, Microsoft, and Oracle, and advised on regulatory frameworks such as PCI-DSS. I hold numerous credentials including QSA, CISM, CISA, CEH, and dual CCNA certifications (Routing & Switching, Voice), enabling me to teach topics ranging from foundational IT to advanced cybersecurity architecture, cloud security, and governance. This allows students to gain more than textbook knowledge—they benefit from insights grounded in real enterprise environments and regulatory landscapes.
My tutoring style is adaptive, structured, and results-oriented. I’ve mentored adult learners, college students, and early-career professionals through certification prep (e.g., Security+, CISSP, CEH), academic coursework, and real-world scenario simulations. I focus on simplifying complex subjects—like cryptography, secure network design, incident response, and risk assessments—through hands-on labs, use-case walkthroughs, and personalized study plans. My sessions often include career guidance tailored to cybersecurity and IT roles. Whether tutoring one-on-one, in virtual group settings, or mentoring junior consultants at work, I prioritize building confidence, critical thinking, and long-term professional readiness. My goal is to not only help students pass exams or coursework but to equip them with the practical skills and mindset to thrive in today’s evolving tech landscape.
