Speaker/Host
It is my mission to serve the UC Riverside campus through improving the University's information security posture and thus helping UC Riverside better generate, advance, disseminate, and apply data and knowledge. This effort will enhance the ability of the UC Riverside community to teach, do research, and provide public service. I have a Masters of Science in Information Security and Assurance, and a Masters of Law. My area of interest is where law, Policy, privacy, and information security overlap.
