Members of our SAP CO BWN group recently had the opportunity to speak at the University of Denver about women in leadership. Being on a college campus, a true melting pot of backgrounds, ideas, and lived experiences, was a powerful reminder of how essential perspective is in shaping the future of leadership! 📚 Thank you Brian Cicero, Ph.D. for making this possible and creating such a fun learning environment!

Reflecting on 2025, I am proud to share that I completed my Master of Science in Cybersecurity Management at the University of Denver with a 4.0 GPA. This achievement marks a significant new chapter in my journey in cybersecurity and digital risk, strengthening my understanding of governance, risk management, compliance, and secure technology operations. As I build on this foundation, I am preparing to begin an Executive MBA, while also pursuing professional certifications through (ISC)² : CC and CGRC. In parallel, I am completing a Graduate Certificate in AI Strategy and Applications in IT, deepening my understanding of how artificial intelligence intersects with security, compliance, and operational resilience in modern enterprises. My goal is to continue integrating technical depth with strategic leadership so I can better help organizations manage emerging cyber risks, strengthen security posture, and leverage AI responsibly and effectively. I am deeply grateful to my mentors and instructors who have guided me along this path - in particular, Trent Bunnell and Dr. Wendy Charles, PhD for their invaluable mentorship, industry insights, and support throughout the journey. Excited for what lies ahead. #CybersecurityOperations #GRC #CyberRiskManagement #ZeroTrust #IdentityAndAccessManagement #CloudSecurity #IncidentResponse #SecurityAnalytics #AIinCybersecurity #DigitalResilience #InfoSec #SOC #SecurityEngineering
