My Story
Over the past 8 years I've gone from building applications for a coffee repair business as a side gig while fixing espresso machines to working as a full-time Security Engineer with Revology and as a passionate researcher into the practical applications of cybersecurity technologies. Along the way I've had the privilege to build security programs at some amazing organizations, reducing risk and improving security posture in a myriad of ways.
I am also a board member for the Des Moines Queer Youth Resource Center, an organization borne of that same desire for community I felt as a young queer person. Together we put on the absolute best event I've been involved in, the Safe Space Prom, where queer young people from across the region can come together in a safe, supportive, and fun environment to celebrate themselves and their community.
