At NETGEAR, I served as a Senior Training Manager, specializing in computer hardware and IoT products. I was instrumental in increasing product placements and sales across various sectors, including government and hospitality. My educational credentials include a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from the University of Miami, a Fortinet NSE4 Certification in Cyber/Computer Forensics from WiCyS, and training in Artificial Intelligence from Qualcomm. My diverse experience and education equip me to excel in dynamic and challenging environments.
