Ms. Dawn Tucker

Ms. Dawn Tucker received her SeaPerch Instructor's training from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) in September of 2015. Prior to her training with the ONR SeaPerch training she served as SeaPerch advisor for the Phi-Sigma Beta Youth Mentoring Club. Last fall Dawn served as a visiting instructor at Pace for the SWAG (STEM Women Achieve Greatness) 9 week course. The SWAG program engaged high school girls with technology concepts and included building a SeaPerch.

The SWAG program included an Arduino component that which students learned how to program and attach sensors to completed SeaPerch ROV's for water testing. Dawn is current instructing a SeaPerch course for a STEM enrichment program which targets underserved middle school students in Mount Vernon. In addition to the SeaPerch program, Dawn instructs students through various STEM initiates such as Intro to Programming with Alice and Legos Robotics. Dawn is currently working on her Robotics Specialization Certification from the University of Pennsylvania's School of Engineering and Applied Science through a robotics outreach program.

Doris Ulysse

Doris Ulysse is an IT Technical Support Specialist at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) with over 15 years of experience specializing in network and security administration. She focuses on implementing cybersecurity solutions and developing technical workflows that enhance information technology operations across the organization.

At the FDIC, Doris collaborates with security solution architects to implement Zero Trust technologies. She recently led a project that streamlined asset management by designing a custom tool to query the configuration management database, identifying Windows Servers that were not running specific security software package across the corporation. Locating these Windows Servers through automation reduced the potential of a cyber breach from high to low risk.

Passionate about expanding access to cybersecurity education, Doris Ulysse contributed to the 2024 research paper "Camp CryptoBot: A Method for Taking Risk and Motivating High School Girls to Pursue a Career in Cybersecurity." This work reflects her commitment to addressing the diversity gap in the cybersecurity field and creating pathways for underrepresented groups in technology.

Doris Ulysse holds a Master of Science in Cybersecurity (2024) and a bachelor's degree in computer science (2017). She extends her commitment to education and service through volunteer work with her parish youth group, where she develops programs to raise awareness about environmental stewardship and earth care.
