Founder Profile
Founder & Executive Director — Global CyberSafe
Leading Global CyberSafe with a commitment to cybersecurity education, digital literacy, and opportunity for underserved communities.
My journey in technology started with curiosity and a strong desire to understand how systems work and how people connect through them. Over time, this curiosity became a passion for information technology, cybersecurity, and education.
I was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo and have worked in technology and IT support for more than 15 years. During this time, I have seen both the power of technology and the risks that come with it especially in communities where cybersecurity awareness is limited.
These experiences inspired me to create Global CyberSafe, a nonprofit focused on helping individuals and communities understand how to stay safe in a digital world, while also opening doors to cybersecurity education and opportunity.
Today, I work full time on Global CyberSafe. After years of combining a career in technology with nonprofit work in my free time, I decided to dedicate myself completely to growing this organization: building our programs and learning platforms, developing partnerships, and bringing cybersecurity education to more students and families.
Before this, I worked in technical operations and IT support at BYU-Pathway Worldwide, and earlier with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in enterprise technical support, where I handled system administration, network support, cloud systems, and cybersecurity-related operations.
Global CyberSafe was created with one clear goal: to make cybersecurity knowledge accessible, practical, and understandable especially for underserved communities in the United States and Africa.
Through this organization, I aim to support schools, learners, and communities with cybersecurity awareness, digital literacy, and practical training that can be applied in everyday life.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Applied Technology from Brigham Young University–Idaho and am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance at Western Governors University.
My technical background includes training and certifications in networking, cybersecurity fundamentals, system administration, and database technologies.
Alongside my professional and nonprofit work, I am also engaged in research in cybersecurity and technology education.
