As a seasoned business professional with 19 years of entrepreneurial expertise in ownership and management, I have recently pivoted my career toward cybersecurity. My drive and adaptability led me to complete a rigorous cybersecurity bootcamp with UC Irvine, culminating in the achievement of my CompTIA Security+ certification. This comprehensive training, combined with my extensive background in client-facing roles, equips me with a unique perspective to understand diverse audience needs and excel as a strategic problem-solver in the technology domain.
