About
With a background rooted in government service and a seamless transition into Cyber security, I bring a unique blend of experience and knowledge to the table. Having spent 4 years in the public sector, I understand the critical importance of protecting sensitive information (confidential & PII) and securing digital infrastructure against ever-evolving threats.
Specializing in the Microsoft ecosystem and also proficient in Linux systems, I thrive on the challenge of fortifying diverse digital environments. I enjoy conducting comprehensive risk assessments and implementing tailored security solutions for clients. I leverage all my experience to safeguard non-for-profit organizations and enterprise businesses' most valuable assets - data.
