The goal of this guidebook is to help high school individuals be recognized as absurdly unique, talented, and promising. This book is for the bright, the brave, and the bold (i.e., YOU).
"... Huang and Menders wrote a manual that “gets right to the point,” with the style set to continue how “Practical Cyber Security” had a plethora of resources, examples, websites, a term glossary, and more — all to further illustrate the material of the chapters."
-- U.S.1 News
Whether you are a rising associate or a C-level executive, separating and insulating your personal life from your public one is critically important so you can protect yourself, your loved ones.

BIO
(OBLIGATORY INSERTION OF MY BIG DUMB FACE ON THIS WEBSITE)
If I had a superpower, it would be my ability to take technical, painfully boring yet vitally important topics and convert them into easily understandable, engaging, and -- most importantly -- USEFUL information.
​
[My 2nd superpower, if it existed, would be my ability to identify and eliminate all types of risk for individuals (i.e., You) and organizations (i.e., Them).]
​
[My 3rd superpower would be not implying I have more than 2 superpowers.]
I write about privacy, cyber security and risk avoidance for organizations and individuals. I have worked closely with federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies across the U.S. on providing solutions to their mobile technology requirements.
​
I am a journalist and documentary photographer focused on women’s and children’s issue and the alleviation of poverty around the world. I co-founded of The Power of Faces, a major portrait project raising awareness of the global refugee crisis. I have documented refugee camps around the world, and actively raise awareness through multiple TEDx Talks and other platforms. My documentary work has been exhibited at Amnesty International, the Middle East Institute, and numerous universities and colleges. My photography is included in the permanent collections of The International Center of Photography, The Museum of the City of New York, New-York Historical Society, Museum of Chinese in the Americas, New York City Fire Museum and other institutions.
​​
I'm a National Fellow of The Explorers Club, a professional society dedicated to advancing field research. I am an Advisor to Princeton University’s Keller Center for Innovation in Engineering Education, where I advise startup founders on strategy and risk avoidance. I'm also a member of the Board of Trustees for ECRI, one of the largest healthcare quality and safety entities in the world.

I earned my Master’s degree (A.L.M.) in Journalism and a Certificate in International Security from Harvard University, my M.B.A. from The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania in Finance and Entrepreneurial Management, and my B.A. from New York University in Economics.
