Dr. Rose Shumba is a Zimbabwean-born educator and cybersecurity professional with more than twenty years of experience preparing people for technology careers.
She is Chair of a Department of Computer Science. She previously taught Cyber Science at the U.S. Naval Academy and directed a Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense designated by the NSA and the Department of Homeland Security.
She holds the PECB Certified ISO/IEC 27001 Senior Lead Implementer and ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Implementer credentials.
Three years ago, I referred someone for an interview. On paper, she was one of the strongest candidates I had met: graduate qualifications in cybersecurity and project management, along with a professional certification.
Afterward, the hiring manager called me. He had no doubt she had studied the material. What he could not see was whether she could apply it. He had asked her to walk him through something she had produced and explain her choices. She could not.
That call stayed with me. I had read the same rƩsumƩ and believed she was ready.
It changed what I ask of the people I teach. My practical programs now ask learners to produce realistic work, receive feedback, and explain why they made each decision.
Being able to show your work and explain your decisions gives an employer something concrete to discuss with you and evidence of how you think.
That is the sequence every practical program here follows.
Learn it. Build and defend it. Use it professionally.
My Christian faith inspires how I approach my work: with care, integrity and a commitment to serving others.
"And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men."
ā€”Colossians 3:23, KJV
We welcome learners and organizations of all faiths and backgrounds.
