Digital Security Researcher

I'm a lifelong student of information technology, earning my first certification as a network administrator at the age of 15. I served as a Madison Policy Forum Military-Business Cybersecurity Fellow and as a non-profit consultant to numerous organizations.

My research primarily focuses on how people identify, assess, and respond to new digital security threats and vulnerabilities. My ongoing research initiatives include measuring the effectiveness of enterprise-level threat modeling and communicating digital security risk within sensitive environments.

Proud to have Dr. Michelle Mazurek as my advisor.
