Community & Public Relations Director for the University of West Florida's Center for Cybersecurity.

I am actively involved in the Gulf Coast tech community because I believe in the region's potential to become a major hub for cybersecurity, information technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship. I have served as the director of the ITEN WIRED summit since 2013 and I'm a strong advocate of the #CyberCoast initiative.

My prior roles included serving as a board member for Innovation Coast, and as chair & advisor to the board of directors for IT Gulf Coast.
