How I help?

I help people by motivating, guiding and assisting them in transitioning into tech, software engineering, and cybersecurity careers.  Most recently, I helped a dear friend secure a role as a cyber security engineer.  Through my tutelage and guidance, I helped him accept an  offer for his dream role in sunny San Diego

Who I help?
I help people of all ages, including college students, individuals without degrees (both young and old), and software engineers trying to break into cybersecurity.

What are three tangible outcomes that people receive by working with me?
By working with me, people have successfully secured jobs within the cybersecurity and software fields. They benefit from my mentorship, which provides them with industry insights and guidance. Additionally, they gain from my coaching and interview preparation,  which boosts their confidence and readiness for job opportunities. 

I embody what I bring to the table because I am a career-transitioner myself whose worked in higher-ed for almost 10 years.  I knew that career path wasn’t for me and since then, I’ve worked as a Java Backend Engineer II and currently as a product security engineer both for fortune 250 companies.  I have also increased my salary by over 50,000 in under 2 years.

What am I best known for?
I am best known for having a growth mindset and constantly learning, which I apply in all my endeavors to help others achieve their career goals.
