The PopCykol Squad
TERESSA Founder & Chief Edutainment Officer
Teressa founded PopCykol in February 2021. She discovered a gap in online safety and cybersecurity for kids and PopCykol fills that gap by bringing fun, engaging, informative digital safety content to kids. She brings together her talents as an award-winning children’s music artist, a master’s degree in anthropology and international development, and her experience as a cybersecurity expert to PopCykol. Teressa teaches security awareness to kids to get them interested in the field and ensure they build good online safety practices early.
In 2022, she was nominated for Cybersecurity Woman of the Year - Entrepreneur category by the United Cybersecurity Alliance. In March 2023, she was a keynote speaker at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. She continues to be an innovative leader within cybersecurity.
