Azusa Pacific UniversityDeputy CISO / Security Architect / Executive Director, Information Services
Jul. 2015 - Nov. 2021My role with Azusa Pacific University Information & Media Technology serving as the Executive Director of Information Services is rich and complex. My teams form a unit within Information & Media Technology that serves business customers, operational staff, faculty, and students from a business technology perspective.

IMT Business Intelligence - Azusa Pacific University’s first and only Business Intelligence department focused on serving the data driven needs of the University and empowering our teams to make sound data driven decisions.
