Lisa Rothfield Kirschner is the author of the celebrated book ‘How We Got Cyber Smart’. As a concerned mother of two young boys and Tech Communications professional, Lisa creates resources to help parents, caregivers and educators have conversations with primary school-aged children about staying safe online. Lisa’s focus is on making online safety learning accessible for younger children in non-threatening / frightening ways. Through the joy of reading and play, children will absorb essential lessons. Trusted adults can then reinforce these lessons through conversation. This passion has seen her develop content for ySafe, Australia’s leading Cyber Safety education provider and the new Women in Security Magazine. Lisa has also been nominated for ‘Unsung Hero” Australian Women in Security Award (AWSN) 2021.

 

Lisa lives in Melbourne with her sons and husband.
