About me
Helping customers manage and protect their data and systems from threats both known and unknown.
Education

Walden University
2014 - 2016Master of Science (M.S.) Communicationhttp://www.waldenu.edu/masters/ms-in-communication

National-Louis University
2001 - 2003BA Behavioral ScienceAlthough tech is my career, what I learned at National-Louis centered on people and how they interact with one and other. My education gives me an advantage by allowing me to take a step back from the technical side to focus on what the user is experiencing. You create a better design if you put the user experience first and then address the technical concerns with a satisfied user experience as your primary goal.
