Holding a Master of Science in Cybersecurity Information and Assurance alongside an MBA from the University of Utah, I have spent over five years mastering the technical and strategic pillars of technology management. My formal education is backed by professional credentials, including the Certified Information Security Manager (CISM), CompTIA Security+, CySA+, and PenTest+ certifications. This background allows me to bridge the gap between complex technical infrastructure and organizational strategy, providing students with a practical, real-world framework rather than just textbook concepts.
My teaching approach centers on practical application and structured problem-solving, which I cultivate daily in my role managing information security teams. Within my organization, I lead the technical onboarding, skills development, and training of direct reports, breaking down complex engineering workflows, digital forensics, and identity management into digestible modules. Additionally, I have designed and led regional cyber incident tabletop exercises in collaboration with federal partners, translating technical crisis management into actionable strategies for cross-functional leadership.
My instruction experience involves working one-on-one and in small groups with adult professionals and university students over the past several years. My methodology focuses on adapting to individual learning styles, clarifying dense exam objectives, and building test-day confidence. I specialize in mentoring individuals preparing for demanding information security certifications or navigating graduate-level business coursework, helping them connect academic principles directly to impactful professional practice.
