Hi, I’m the Founder & CEO of AQ’s Corner LLC, a mother-daughter-led cybersecurity and digital wellness mission. I’m a cybersecurity analyst, author, mom, and digital safety advocate who believes protection should feel like power, not panic.
🏆 Recognition: FTCC Small Business Center “Most Impact” List Honoree for my work in cybersecurity education.
With nearly 20 years in technology, I’ve worked across federal agencies, startups, and mission-driven organizations, always with one focus: advancing a mission where security and digital wellness are clear, accessible, and empowering for the people who need it most: families, educators, and small business owners.
Though I began in software testing, technical writing, and project management, my career naturally expanded into cybersecurity. Over time, I’ve led and supported efforts in incident response, compliance, and digital risk management. Today, I dedicate myself to building a mission that puts people first, helping them step into digital spaces with confidence, curiosity, and courage.
AQ’s Corner was born from a simple belief:
- Cybersecurity should be understandable, actionable, and empowering.
Inspired by My Daughter
When my daughter asked what I do for work, I realized I needed a better way to explain it. Together, we co-authored Emani and the CyberHero Response Team, a story that helps kids (and their grown-ups) understand the basics of online safety in a fun, story-driven way.
That mother-daughter spark ignited a mission: to make cybersecurity education relatable, inclusive, and powerful for all ages.
The Mission We’re Building
