    I have been writing content for education curriculum courses and teaching adult learners for over fifteen years. One set of course content is for the insurance industry highlighting identity theft, data breach, cyber compliance, data security, data mining, cyber insurance and the regulatory environment. I am great at research and enjoy bringing a project to completion. The second set of curriculum discusses leadership and ethics in a changing, fluid culture. We discuss moral, ethical and legal responsibility for the words and actions posted and shared on public forums like social media. I can write about consumer protection, business cyber security, ethics, and leadership. I have written several blogs recently, on insurance-related topics. Topics of cyber interest: Identity theft, data breach management, cyber and general risk assessment, cyber compliance, Written Information Security Programs (WISP), content on leadership and ethics for our written words. Product promotions, consumer awareness education, and cyber compromise prevention & recovery to name a few content headlines. I have done many live classrooms and now ZOOM platforms classes. I've done live and virtual classes for large and small groups. I can address a broad range of audiences. My focus in learning is to keep it simple, infuse humor when appropriate and your audience will come back. Always give something to think about and take away. Actions to implement on your own. I have an undergraduate degree in Equine Science from Colorado State University. I love animals and am happy to research and write content about dogs and horses, too.
