In 20 years of marriage, I only remember 4–5 arguments among us. One of the last was her treatment strategy, but it was her body and I eventually understood her rationale later (wanting to get back to normal). Kellina was an elegant, stunningly beautiful, brilliant woman who was extremely humble, yet very intense. She wanted the most out of each minute life had to offer. She was Lois, I was the Clark Kent persona; she was an awesome wife and mother, whom I deeply miss.
To understand how Kellina helped others is simply to contact the National Science Foundation or Google, “NSF mourns Kellina.” She had a profound impact on so many people. She encouraged me to publish, to pass on my cybersecurity knowledge to others in order to help develop others and to make strives for cybersecurity best practices. My first publication was “Security Architecture and Models” chapter within Krause, M., & Tipton, H., 2003, Information Security Management Handbook, 5th Ed. This was a collaboration with Kellina. She was a social psychologist, and I asked her to write a section on social engineering for cybersecurity practitioners, not her fellow academics or students. I read her social engineering piece and handed it back to her. Kellina thought something was wrong by the expression on my face I suppose. I stated it was an outstanding technical writing on the subject and I had nothing further to add. At the time, Kevin Mitnick was the sought-after thought leader on social engineering. Kellina addressed the subject from the academic side yet in layman terms for cybersecurity practitioners.
I wrote several other publications afterward with her encouragement (all edited by her). She would invite me to National Science Foundation's (NSF) computer science open discussions or public presentations. She told me, for example, research states not to allow a toddler to watch TV before the age of two. That aggression of computer games on developing adolescence minds is harmful. She made me a better father. I can honestly state, Kellina is probably a cofounder on the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) to what it is today and within the federal government. Her other signature task was broadening the participation of minorities in STEM.
