Welcome!

I am a lecturer in the Computer Science and Engineering department at Washington University in St. Louis, where I  completed my Ph.D. in 2019 working in the Applied Research Lab (ARL) under the guidance of Patrick Crowley.

These day, I focus on teaching security related courses, including intro to malware analysis and system security. 

Prior to my days at Wash U,  I was a software developer for over ten years, developing products and services in the area of computer networks and network security.

I am a mother of two boys who do their best to keep me busy when not working 🙂 When I do get a minute, I enjoy reading, hiking and listening to music.
