Previously, as Senior Director of Digital Forensics, I guided our strategic digital intelligence operations, educate DFIR professionals on the latest challenges in the space, and offered counsel around how Cellebrite can assist them and their missions. I have a strong background in digital forensics and eDiscovery, with more than 20 years of experience with forensics acquisitions, examinations, advanced exploitation, manual decoding, application reverse engineering, SQL queries, scripting, professional training, and report writing on electronic media. To help build an engaged, educated community of DFIR professionals, I serve as the DFIR Curriculum Lead, Senior Instructor at the SANS Institute. I’m a SANS Faculty Fellow Instructor and Lead Author for the FOR585: Smartphone Forensic Analysis In-Depth course. I also co-authored best-seller “Practical Mobile Forensics” and served as Technical Editor of “Learning Android Forensics” by Pack't Publishing and SQLite Forensics by Paul Sanderson.I am skilled in public speaking and educating on products, concepts, and methodologies, as seen in my Tip Tuesdays hosted on Cellebrite’s YouTube channel. I am passionate about my team, Cellebrite’s capabilities, and the impact of reliable digital forensics.
