I operate at the intersection of information management, intelligence gathering, and human cyber risk; designing systems that make sense of complexity and uncover what often remains unseen. My background includes deep research in terrorism and counter-terrorism, with a focus on behavioral patterns, digital vulnerabilities, and the narratives that drive radicalization and control. Whether it's building intelligence frameworks or mitigating risk through human-centered design, I work to translate complexity into action. Alongside this, I lecture in Ethics, Communication Management and International Entrepreneurship, guiding students through the shifting terrains of strategy, storytelling, and value creation in a digital world.
