My core strengths include the ability to translate complex solutions into easily digestible content, delivered in a manner that results in increased awareness and excitement around solution implementation.

An avid fan of science as well as science fiction, you’re as likely to encounter Khali at a Comicon or Star Trek event as you are a cutting-edge technology symposium. Her favorite pastimes are reading and hanging out with her husband, four sons and their dog, Willy, and cat, Tribble.
