Q: What types of presentations do you offer?

I specialize in high-impact presentations focused on digital safety and cybersecurity. I’ve personally delivered over 100 presentations to a wide variety of audiences, from schools and community groups to businesses and senior citizens. The sessions are designed to empower people with the knowledge they need to navigate the digital world safely.

Q: What topics can your presentations cover beyond general online safety?

My presentations are fully customizable to meet your specific needs. We can provide in-depth training on Cybersecurity Fundamentals for School and Business, focusing on everything from network security to data protection. We also specialize in targeted presentations on topics like Elder Scams & Financial Protection, helping community groups and families recognize and avoid financial fraud.

Q: How can a PTO or school safety committee help with online safety education?

PTOs and safety committees can be the driving force behind bringing in experts to provide online safety training for adults. These presentations offer a high-impact, focused way to deliver critical information directly to parents, teachers, and administrators, empowering them with actionable strategies to keep kids safe.

Q: What is a "social engineering" attack?

Social engineering is a manipulation tactic that relies on human error to gain access to private information. Scammers might impersonate an IT professional to get your password or pretend to be a delivery service to get you to click a malicious link. The best defense is to be cautious and verify all requests for information, no matter how legitimate they seem.

Q: What are the most common types of scams targeting seniors and how can they be prevented?

Elder fraud often preys on a sense of urgency or emotional vulnerability. Common scams include imposter scams (impersonating a family member or government official), tech support scams, and sweepstakes scams. The key to prevention is to be skeptical of unsolicited contact, never give out personal information, and to verify claims by contacting the person or organization through a known, trusted number.

Q: What specific topics are covered in your training sessions?

I offer a variety of customizable presentations to meet the needs of any group. My expertise includes broad topics like cybersecurity and online safety for kids, as well as highly technical subjects such as financial investigations. I also provide specific, in-depth training on topics like:

• EXIF data from photos: I teach you how photos can contain hidden information about where and when they were taken.

• Hidden apps: I will show you how to identify and understand the purpose of hidden apps that kids may use to conceal their activity.
