About
I have 16+ years in the IT industry and am transitioning into the cybersecurity field, with a deep passion for Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) roles. My inspiration comes from the many conversations I had with clients and leadership as a Specialist Customer Solutions Architect (sCSA) at TELUS. As their trusted advisor, I assisted them on their transformational journeys, and developed a keen understanding of challenges & complexities businesses face with securing data, systems and people. I also observed that true organizational change comes from leadership, as they have a holistic view of the organization and its interconnectedness.
I have work experience with implementing and managing various technologies, and architecting solutions at my previous role. Over the course of my career, I gained key skills such as problem-solving, relationship building, communication, time management, adaptability and analytical thinking which are necessary key skills to any role. Because of my enthusiasm to be part of change, and my commitment to continuous development, I completed the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) in 2023, with the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) as my next step. In addition, I am taking proactive steps by continuing to do courses to better understand cybersecurity frameworks and standards, risk assessments and GRC as a subject.
Though I may not have the extensive professional experience required by roles in this field but my keenness for the subject, quick learning ability and desire to continuously learn will enable me to contribute effectively, while also allowing me to advance as a cybersecurity professional. My motivation lies in wanting to grow my expertise in the GRC field to support the organizations compliance objectives, the benefits of which are seen by the stakeholders, employees & customers alike.
I am very excited to bring my enthusiasm, desire to grow and strong work ethic to the organization while simultaneously making meaningful contributions to safeguard critical data, systems and people.
