Early on Dr. Carlton had hoped to work in accounting, but her plans shifted after encountering her first computer. She later found her passion for cybersecurity after researching the top nine cybersecurity skills for non-IT professionals working with experts from the Florida chapter of the InfraGard, along with subject matter experts from other federal agencies such as the United States Secret Services' (USSS) Electronic Crimes Task Force team and industry for her dissertation. Dr. Carlton believes the best part of her job is those she gets to share her classroom with...her students. The best advice Dr. Carlton received and hopes to pass on to her students is, “God first, family second, and all other things will find their place afterwards". She also enjoys learning and looks forward to sharing her knowledge with you, because "sharing the classroom with others is an educational experience that will stay with you for years to come".
