She grew up listening to purple code and the Battle of Midway. These bedtime stories influenced her thinking and prepared her for her future roles. At the age of five she knew that she would work at the National Security Agency. She eventually rose to run NSA's counter-terrorism operations mission. She also spent a few years at the American Embassy, helping the British get ready for the 2012 Summer Olympics. She returned to NSA headquarters in Maryland and for five years she ran cyber-exploitation missions against "our adversaries to keep the U.S. and her allies safe." Today, she leverages that experience to look at Morgan Stanley's networks, systems and applications "through the lens of an adversary."
