About Lisa
- She’s been into computers since she was a kid, and knew she wanted to be a hacker when she saw the movie “Sneakers” as a teen.
- Her dad brought home her first computer, and she started playing games and going to computer club meetups.
- After high school, she joined the military and served in the Air Force, but did systems administration in every role she held.
- To secure technology, she says, you have to understand it, even if you want to work in policy or something indirectly related.
- After she left the military, she joined a hacker group, but when it dissolved, she didn’t know where else to go.
- She wanted to create a learning environment for herself and others like her, and founded the Women’s Society of Cyberjutsu.
- The most important thing is not to let fear stop you, she says—always be trying to be progressing in your work and career.
