With over 20 years of experience in security, instructional design, and compliance, I’ve learned one thing for sure: boring training doesn’t work.

So why stick to the same old snooze-worthy programs when we can make compliance fun (yes, really)?

I’ve had the privilege of contributing to the evolution of the CUI program by volunteering on the DCSA/NCMS CUI committee since its inception. In this role, I helped shape many of the CUI resources you'll find on the DCSA website.

So if you’ve ever thought, “Who made this awesome CUI material?” - that’s me and a great team!

I have a deep-rooted passion about national security and the protection of information, but I also know that training doesn’t have to feel like a punishment. It can be engaging, practical, and dare I say, fun.

Other achievements I’m proud of:

• 2022 NCMS Society Award for CUI Committee achievements

• 2017-2019: Executive Assistant for the NISPPAC

• 2017: NCMS Seminar Chair

• 2014: DSS Western Region Challenge Coin

• 2016 NCMS Society Award for contributions to NCMS

So, if you're ready for training that keeps you awake and makes a difference, you’re in the right place.

In my spare time I tend to my avocado grove, take my 1969 Dodge Charger for cruises, hike with my pup, and hang out with my parents who live next door!
