Black Labs Security
Product Manager
A mission-driven professional with experience in employment services, product management, and AI. At Community Bridges, I support job seekers through strategy, systems design, and employer partnerships. At Black Labs Security, I lead product development for cloud security solutions. Completing an ML/AI certification program at Columbia University, I also hold certifications in cybersecurity and chatbot development. I’m passionate about using technology to create social impact and expand access to opportunity.
I’ve spent time in some of the most structured, high-security environments (military, Silicon Valley, cybersecurity) and also in some of the most vulnerable, unpredictable spaces (homeless outreach, reentry, counseling). This means I don’t just understand systems, I understand how systems fail people.
Most people only see one side: engineers build security without thinking about those who get locked out, policymakers draft rules without understanding those who fall through the cracks. I’ve seen both sides. That gives me a perspective most decision-makers don’t even know they need. It’s not just about solving problems, it’s about solving the right problems. Willing to share my journey and help or mentor others learn about cybersecurity career opporunities and pathways.
