Hello, and welcome to my website. I have been a Part-Time Assistant Professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Kennesaw State University, Marietta campus, since 2017.

Education: I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science-Cybersecurity, a Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence, a Ph.D. in Business Administration with a specialization in Organizational Leadership, a Master of Science in International Business & Trade, and a Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering Technology. 

Certifications:  Project Management Professional (PMP)®, PMI-Agile Certified Practitioner (ACP) ®, Certified Information Security Manager (CISM)®, Certified Information Security Auditor (CISA)®, Certified Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC)®, Certified Ethical Hacker (CEHv12) EC-Council, Certified Data Privacy Solution Engineer (CDPSE)®, and Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional (AIPG). 

Practical work experience: I have 29 years of corporate professional experience in project/program management, specifically in project planning, estimation, risk assessment, security governance, risk and compliance, auditing, and government procurement contracting in the systems engineering and information technology industries. I worked for AT&T, Home Depot Canada Supply Chain & Logistics, The Department of Defense (DoD), and Lucent Technologies Caribbean (Latin America division). 

Thus, I have a wide range of professional experiences that I can integrate into the classroom to benefit learners by providing an instant connection and relevance to the concepts.I have held various key positions at well-known companies, giving me firsthand exposure to best practices that inform my classroom instruction. I have found that sharing real-world experiences offers students a chance to connect the course material to their future career goals, helping build a solid foundation of knowledge.

Entrepreneur: I have owned a management consulting firm (J6 Management Consulting) for over nineteen years. The company is registered with the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The company offers technical consulting to small and medium-sized businesses.
