**PLEASE MAKE SURE BEFORE VISITING FOR ANY REASON. PLEASE email/call/text to confirm hours and location, as these can vary due to lunch breaks, cybersecurity events, faculty meetings, and other duties. I am on campus, but understand I'm usually not in my office when I’m not expecting students or teaching a class, due to bathroom, water, and food breaks. I also try to stretch my legs and will do a quick, brief walk around campus to stop and smell the flowers and say hello world!
--I do ask before calling. Please send a text because many calls go to spam, and I never want to miss a scheduled event due to a filter I cannot control or potential internet connection issues. You can call me on my work phone at 727-341-3484 or text/call at 656-201-4909.
Tutoring:
Please feel free to email, call, or text me regarding availability. I am open to Zoom sessions and in-person sessions. I am happy to visit another campus, but please ask, as I might be teaching in person, in meetings, or just not able to due to distance. I love working with students and finding solutions!

Ms. Jacqueline Zolecki, MS, is as a full-time Cybersecurity Professor at St. Petersburg College’s of Computer and Technology Institute (CCIT). Born and raised in Wisconsin. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. My passion for technology led me to receive my Master of Science in Cybersecurity from Saint Leo University. Drawing on experience in the physical world and in technology, I understand cybersecurity from multiple angles. I hold industry certifications such as CompTIA’s Security+ and CySA+, CompTIA’s Security Analytics Professional (CSAP), AI Essentials Competency Certificate, AI Prompting Essentials Competency Certificate, and AWS Academy Educator, and completed Cisco's CyberOps Associate with many more to come! I am currently serving as an active Board member, Media/Technology Director for Tampa Bay's InfraGard. I am an active member of the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA), a member of CompTIA’s instructor network, an ISACA member, and an OpenAI Forum member. I attend webinars and enjoy learning more about Tampa, FL, and the surrounding areas, meeting others, and sharing what I know to contribute and give back. In my free time I like to volunteer my time to help with TitanSec, our cybersecurity club at St. Petersburg College, helping mentor and support students in learning and improving their cybersecurity skills. I help lead with the support of my mentor, who also educates and contributes to St. Petersburg College, Professor George Wood, and the fantastic work of our very own students who have helped form and shape our Women in Cybersecurity (WiCyS) chapter at St. Petersburg College. I help volunteer and share information about Women in Security and Privacy (WISPorg) event planning, growing membership, and sponsorship outreach. In 2025, I was recognized with an Award of Excellence and an Honorary Attendee award at FutureCon, a leading Cybersecurity conference. I am committed to ongoing professional development in cybersecurity, regularly attending workshops and earning certifications from respected organizations. These include credentials from Scythe’s Hunting Through the SIEM workshop, Netskope Certified SASE Essentials Administration, AWS Artificial Intelligence Practitioner Learning Plan certificate, certificate of completion for An Essential Guide to AI for Educators, and many more.
