she gained extensive experience with the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO),
the National
Security Agency (NSA), and various

Security and tools and technologies to assist the law enforcement community
in the investigation of cyber crime. Specifically:
- Served as a subject-matter
expert on the Department
of Homeland Security’s behalf
evaluating applications to the 2004
Homeland Security Information Technology
Evaluation Program. This Joint Program
between the Office
of the Chief Information Officer and
the Office

intended to foster and evaluate novel
uses of existing, “state-of-the-market” information
technology demonstrate how to remove
barriers and improve information
sharing and integration.
- Researched, developed,
and tested a prototype national contact
database for cyber attack investigators.
This restricted-access national database
prototype of law enforcement contacts,
searchable by geographic location,
position, and technological expertise
was available to investigators through
partnerships with law enforcement
organizations and information sharing
entities. Research in this area focused
on schema design, leveraging existing
data, and national coordination and
information sharing. Plans are underway
to provide this prototype at no charge
to the law enforcement community.
- Participated in
a National study assessing the interoperability
of available Crisis
Information Management Software (CIMS) and
