Decentered Arts
San Francisco based non-profit supporting arts and community
I help lead Decentered Arts and serve on the board of this San Francisco based non-profit organization. Decentered Arts works to support and foster arts and community engagement in the Bay Area.
Professional Background
Information security expert, community leader, and creative practitioner
Community Leadership & Arts
I'm passionate about building stronger communities through the arts and supporting creative expression. This commitment to fostering connections and cultural engagement shapes how I approach leadership and collaboration.
I serve as Chairperson of the Board at Decentered Arts, a San Francisco-based non-profit that supports arts and community engagement in the Bay Area.
Information Security & Education
I specialize in information security with a focus on practical applications, secure system design, and helping organizations build robust security practices. I'm committed to supporting the next generation of cybersecurity professionals through education and mentorship.
I lead the Security, Compliance and IT organization at Decagon, where I'm responsible for building and maintaining secure systems, ensuring regulatory compliance, and managing IT infrastructure. I also serve on the Alumni Leadership Council for Carnegie Mellon University's Information Networking Institute, contributing to the advancement of information security education.
Creative Problem-Solving
I believe in combining technical expertise with creative approaches to solve complex problems. Whether it's designing secure systems, writing poetry, or building community infrastructure, I bring an interdisciplinary perspective that bridges technical and creative domains.
My work spans from information security consulting to event lighting design, from poetry to technical guides—all informed by a creative, systems-thinking approach.
