About

I’m a security, privacy, and AI governance executive who builds security and compliance programs for regulated industries including health tech, financial services, and government-adjacent environments. I hold IAPP’s Fellow of Information Privacy (FIP) and AI Governance Professional (AIGP) certifications, along with Google Cloud’s Generative AI Leader certification. I serve as ISSO for FISMA/FedRAMP Moderate programs and have led HIPAA compliance and FDA software (SaMD) security programs from the inside, across Defense (Sandia National Labs, SEI/CERT at Carnegie Mellon, The Aerospace Corporation), Healthcare (UCLA Medical Center), and Fortune 10 and high-growth companies (Alphabet, , Zurich/Farmers, Leaf Group and Honest Co.). With over 20 years in security, privacy, risk, and compliance, my written work of more than 50 publications has appeared in Forbes, ACM, IEEE Security & Privacy, ISACA Journal, and ISSA Journal. I advise ArmorIQ on agentic AI security and have taught as a lecturer at UCLA Extension and USC Engineering.

I enjoy consulting, writing, teaching, and presenting.
