If you don't have time to do it right, you don't have time to do it again.
A 12-year U.S. Air Force veteran with a passion for Cybersecurity, GRC, Education, and AI Governance. Throughout my career, I've gained a broad skillset spanning across multiple domains, including financial analysis, risk management, network security, curriculum development & instruction, and systems administration. It's helped me approach challenges with a holistic perspective and given me the ability to communicate effectively with stakeholders and cross-functional teams, regardless of their technical background.
That quote from Mr. Morgan applies more than ever in today's world. As rapid adoption of AI into our daily lives and business processes continues to grow, the need for responsible AI programs and education for average users has never been more critical. We can't afford to be careless with AI adoption, nor how we govern it within our organizations.
I'm on a mission to help companies and individuals harness the evolving power of AI, responsibly, through the innovation of strategic frameworks and ethical governance. With uncompromising effort (and a few cups of coffee), I believe we can get there.
