I am passionate about promoting women and minorities in cyber, and care deeply about mental health and wellness – particularly in the workplace. Outside of work, I am a certified service dog trainer – currently raising my third full-time puppy, Benny, in conjunction with America’s VetDogs. I love facetiming with my granddaughter (hopefully it will be less facetime and more in-person time soon!), visiting my youngest at Tech (yes, she’s a Hokie!), and spending time (right now – outside and distanced) with friends – you can also find me enjoying some exercise, as well as supporting the local community, in and around Washington D.C. – of course, safely distanced.
