Bio
Amanda Nock
Ashlynn was the best we could have possibly asked for in our internship program. She faced security initiatives head on and had both the regulatory knowledge to maintain compliance and the technical wizardry to make it all happen on her own. As a DevOps engineer I could not have asked for a more excellent and competent InfoSec/SecOps counterpart. Ashlynn's skills, teamwork, comradery and work were an incredible contribution that no one who had the honor of working with her will ever forget.
