As the Director of Training and Certification at ecfirst, I have over two decades of experience helping organizations enhance their cybersecurity posture through effective education, training, and certification. Specializing in building robust, secure systems, my goal is to empower professionals to navigate the evolving cybersecurity landscape and protect their organizations from emerging threats.

In addition to my role at ecfirst, I am excited to announce the October 2024 release of my new book, Cybersecurity Compliance for Non-IT Leaders. Drawing on my extensive experience, this book offers practical insights and strategies for building stronger digital defenses, providing non-technical leaders with the tools to navigate the complexities of cybersecurity, training, and compliance.

I’m also a certified HIPAA Professional (CHP) Trainer, and I take pride in delivering training that helps organizations in sectors like healthcare and defense meet critical cybersecurity and compliance requirements. My team’s work with the Department of Defense’s CMMC Training has played a vital role in fortifying security across the Defense Industrial Base, ensuring organizations meet the highest cybersecurity standards.

Beyond compliance, I am passionate about improving the integration of technology and healthcare systems, driving operational excellence, and advocating for robust security measures that empower organizations to thrive in a digital-first world.
