About

As a professional with a robust foundation in Public Relations and a burgeoning expertise in Cyber Security and Ethical Hacking, I am eager to leverage my unique skill set to enhance your organization’s security posture. My background in communication and participation in an Ethical Hacking boot camp have fueled my curiosity about the ongoing battle against cyber threats. In my current role as Brand Manager at RISE Global, I have successfully crafted and executed comprehensive digital marketing strategies that align with organizational objectives. This experience has sharpened my analytical abilities, enabling me to derive data-driven insights that optimize campaign performance. My recent hands-on simulation experience at ANZ Australia has deepened my understanding of cybersecurity challenges, particularly in analyzing network traffic and identifying potential threats. Previously, as a Public Relations Manager at Brett Communications Ltd, I led a multi-channel publicity campaign that boosted customer engagement by 40%. This role not only honed my strategic planning capabilities but also emphasized the importance of relationship-building—an essential skill in Cyber Security. Establishing trust and credibility with stakeholders is critical, especially when navigating sensitive security issues. I possess a range of technical skills pertinent to Cyber Security, including Ethical Hacking, Metasploit, Wireshark, and digital investigations. My adaptability and growth mindset enable me to stay ahead in the rapidly evolving tech landscape, ensuring I am well-prepared to tackle emerging challenges. I am excited about the opportunities to contribute my diverse expertise to organizations, driving innovative solutions to safeguard digital assets and enhance overall security.
