CybHER Team
Meet the awesome people behind our outreach activities.
Kanthi Narukonda
Director
I joined CybHER because I believe in its mission. Young girls need encouragement and motivation to pursue cybersecurity and outreach activities help accomplish this mission. If I can provide motivation and encouragement to at least one student and they pursue cybersecurity, I will have achieved CybHER’s mission.
Katie Shuck
Chief of Strategy
I joined CybHER so that young girls can learn and get excited about all the different opportunities in cybersecurity and know that cybersecurity needs people from all backgrounds.
Abel Degu
CybHER Leader
I joined CybHER driven by a passion to empower and inspire. With a mission to revolutionize how we perceive women in cybersecurity, CybHER is my platform to make a difference. By helping girls discover their potential and shaping a secure digital future, we’re rewriting the rules together. Let’s break barriers and create a world where girls thrive in cybersecurity.
Abigail Bushee
CybHER Leader
I joined CybHER because when I was in middle school, I went to some of their camps, and it helped show me and other young girls some of the job opportunities most people don’t even think about. I joined to help show that there are more jobs in STEM than just the common programmer or engineer.
Bella Maxwell
CybHER Leader
I joined CybHER because I wanted to be a part of an organization that is geared towards helping recruit young girls to feel encouraged to join the cyber world. It is a vital part of our world and is even more important that we have women in this field. CybHER is an amazing group that does outstanding outreach to every part of South Dakota and helps kids to feel comfortable and even confident that they can succeed in the technology industry.
Wael Delessa
CybHER Leader
I joined CybHER because I believe in its mission of encouraging young women to pursue technology. Despite limited access to advanced computers and cybersecurity knowledge in some parts of the world, many girls are passionate about programming and the science of computers. By being part of CybHER, I hope to help more young women discover their potential in this field and inspire future generations of women in tech.
Mikaila Fluth
CybHER Leader
When I was in middle school, I attended the CybHER camp, and it helped me find my love for I.T. So, I joined CybHER to help young girls find their passion in STEM just as I did.
Naol Bullo
CybHER Leader
I joined CybHER because of my desire to help others. CybHER’s mission is to empower, motivate, educate, and change the perception of girls and women in cybersecurity, and CybHER is devoted to helping girls to engage in the Cybersecurity industry. So, when the chance to join CybHER came, for me, it was a chance I didn’t want to miss. I want to help girls by committing myself to CybHER’s mission.
