Events and Media

I participated in a cybersecurity visit to Brussels and Estonia focused on strengthening transatlantic cooperation in cyber policy and cybercrime prevention. Through meetings with officials from European Union institutions, the Estonian government, and the European Parliament, as well as representatives from academia and the private sector, I explored contemporary challenges in cybersecurity governance and digital resilience. The program included site visits and discussions on EU cybersecurity policy, cybercrime, and emerging threats, providing insight into Estonia’s leadership in cybersecurity and opportunities for deeper EU–U.S. collaboration in this rapidly evolving field.

Served as moderator for “Building a U.S. Cyber Force: Rethinking Recruitment, Institutions, and Expertise,” a Commission on Cyber Forces event organized in partnership with the Center for Strategic and International Studies and hosted by the Alperovitch Institute for Cybersecurity Studies at Johns Hopkins SAIS. The discussion convened senior leaders and practitioners to examine emerging challenges in the organization, development, and employment of U.S. military cyber forces. Panelists included Maria Barrett, Ryan Heritage, Joseph Lin, and Perri Adams, who offered a substantive exchange on institutional design, talent management, and the strategic implications of a potential U.S. Cyber Force.

I participated in a career panel at the Alexander Hamilton Society’s Student Leadership Conference in Washington, DC. I provided insights on careers in national security and offered advice to students on navigating the field and seizing professional opportunities.

As a speaker at the Women in Intelligence conference, I focused on the critical intersection of emerging technology and intelligence operations. I discussed how advancements in cybersecurity, AI, and data analytics are reshaping the intelligence landscape and the strategic implications of these technologies.

Focusing on the impact of women on intelligence from the past to the present, the conference aims to inspire the next generation of intelligence professionals, both men and women.
