Cybersecurity CEO at A & M Strategies connecting AI governance, cloud security, and GRC engineering through hands-on control prototypes.

Message

At A & M Strategies, I’m building practical approaches that connect AI governance, cloud security, vulnerability management, and GRC engineering. I develop hands-on governance and control prototypes using Terraform, Python, AWS, CI/CD, and policy-as-code, including controls mapped to NIST 800-53.

I built and scaled Women's Society of Cyberjutsu from a concept into a national nonprofit with 4,000+ members across 46 states, securing over $1.5M in grant and corporate sponsorship funding. Through workforce development and leadership programs, we trained 10,000+ women and girls.

At Foot Locker, I led an enterprise security transformation, shifting vulnerability management toward risk-driven exposure management aligned with business priorities. I redesigned risk exception governance and delivered board-ready scorecards and executive dashboards using NIST CSF 2.0 and ISO 27001 metrics.

Earlier, at Las Vegas Sands Corporation, I developed the organization’s first global vulnerability management program and improved enterprise security posture by 60%. I also teach cybersecurity at University of Maryland Global Campus and have trained security professionals as an award-winning instructor and best-selling author.
