I have always been someone that wanted to have a career of my own. In 2018, I was a newlywed, recently graduated from graduate school, and working for my hometown in my field of study. That was until my husband, who had just been commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Army, was notified that [...]

Have you ever been so excited about accomplishing something that you wanted to let the whole world know, YOU DID IT!

I am the youngest of six children and grew up with four brothers, so sports are most definitely my love language. It doesn’t matter what the conversation topic is, I’ll more than likely make a sports comparison.

Keep your glasses handy and your contact lenses soaking in their solution. I am not referring to your eyesight vision, but your hindsight vision. If there is one common theme from conversations I have held over the past year, it is that year 2020 was difficult, (to say the least). I understand that the concept [...]

Several years ago, I knocked on the door of my professor’s office, resume in hand and eager to present my novice professional achievements.

Totem Technologies: Cybersecurity Assessments

By |2020-06-18T07:58:30-07:00June 18th, 2020|Blog, Policy|0 Comments

There are a few general truths in cybersecurity.  The first is that it is not a matter of if you will face a threat to your information systems, but when.  A second truth is that no information system is completely secure.  Vulnerabilities will always exist because technologies change, flaws emerge, people make mistakes, equipment breaks, [...]

A funny thing happened to me a few years ago. And it seems like it happened slowly or perhaps it just took me a while to recognize it. That funny thing was I didn’t have anyone waiting for me to come home from work. My children, who today are 21 and 18, started managing their [...]

Here I am, sitting across from a man who could be my Dad in an important meeting. A meeting where he will decide if he’s keeping his business with our company or not. It’s my responsibility to make him feel confident with his choice to stay with us based on my knowledge, expertise and experience [...]
