Cyber Civil Defense (CCD) Emerging Leader @ Aspen Digital

The Cyber Civil Defense (CCD) Emerging Leader program at Aspen Digital connects early-career cybersecurity professionals with a series of expert-led virtual sessions on cyber policy. I’ll be spending the coming months exploring the policymaking process and engaging with leaders in the field.

Consulting @ UC Berkeley Cybersecurity Clinic

At the clinic, I have worked with over ten different social sector organizations to improve their cybersecurity so they can better achieve their mission and goals. I’ve crafted different deliverables like cybersecurity risk assessments, data retention policies, technical trainings, and system migration plans. I’ve also led the engagements with many of these organizations, serving as the primary communications lead. My goal is always to understand each client’s needs and provide cybersecurity recommendations that truly fit.

Mutual Aids and Financial Technology Case Study

Through the Cybersecurity Clinic, I worked with Fight for the Future to create a best practices guide for mutual aids leveraging financial technology. As part of the case study, I interviewed and wrote cybersecurity risk assessments for six mutual aids. Case study link coming soon!

Program Assistant @ UC Berkeley Cybersecurity Clinic

As the Program Assistant at the clinic, I assist the Clinic Director, Elijah Baucom, with daily operations and long-term goals. For daily operations, I perform tasks like configuring and managing the clinic students’ Proton and OnlyOffice accounts. For long-term goals, I frequently meet with interested social sector organizations to explain the services we provide and recruit them to participate in the clinic for future semesters.
