Meet Angela

Once upon a time, I was just a curious kid who loved whodunits and seeing the villain come to justice. Little did I know, that fascination would lead me to exploring the vast world of technology. And now?

I’m the Cybersecurity Expert For Entrepreneurs.

From thwarting cyberattacks on the Security and Response Team at Symantec/Norton Antivirus to implementing robust security measures for my entrepreneur clients, my journey has been nothing short of thrilling.

But, what I love most about my expertise and experience is helping online entrepreneurs, especially women and marginalized entrepreneurs, protect themselves, their businesses, and their families at the highest levels of security possible.

"So glad I came to the workshop to learn how to plug the holes in my home security footprint"

Super helpful! I never thought about "stealth" internet connectors like appliances being a potential security risk at home.
