About
I’m an emerging cybersecurity professional with a foundation in GRC, security operations, and program coordination. I recently graduated with honours from the Cybersecurity Analyst Program at Willis College (GPA 4.0 / 99%), and I’m now focused on roles that bridge technical understanding with documentation, organization, and stakeholder-facing support.
Before entering cybersecurity, I spent a decade running a client-based business, gaining deep experience in communication, scheduling, service delivery, issue resolution, and long-term relationship management. That background now helps me excel in environments where reliability, professionalism, and clear coordination are essential.
My technical training includes SIEM fundamentals (Splunk, AlienVault OSSIM), cloud basics (AWS/Azure), threat intelligence tools (OTX, VirusTotal, GreyNoise), and hands-on labs across SOC analysis, ethical hacking, and digital forensics. I’ve also developed a solid understanding of security documentation, policies, risk fundamentals, and the importance of structured processes in cybersecurity programs.
I stay active in the cybersecurity community through the Canadian Cyber Forum, OWASP Ottawa, ISACA Ottawa Valley, and volunteer involvement such as at BSides Ottawa, while continuing to build connections with industry professionals.
My focus now is on contributing to cybersecurity teams where organization, communication, and foundational GRC knowledge are valued — particularly in program coordination, security governance, and stakeholder-facing roles within cybersecurity teams or security service providers.
Always happy to connect with others in cybersecurity, share insights, and keep learning.
