Bio

Hi, my name is Lori and I am a mom (before anything), a cybersecurity analyst, and a DFIR enthusiast, I love looking for trouble, but not in the way you would imagine. I spend my days combing through logs and putting out fires at home and work, but I don't mind because I have training as an EMT/FF with my local fire department. I love to sing, lift weights, do yoga, garden, and hike in whatever spare time I have. I published my first book in 2019 and I think everyone should do it at least once in their lives. I live to elevate women in the workforce and I plan on taking up space in the public speaking arena in the next 5 years.
