What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead GRC initiatives, strengthen enterprise security posture, mentor teams, and drive measurable risk reduction within a collaborative, growth-focused organization.

I am a cybersecurity governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) professional with hands-on experience delivering enterprise-level security solutions and managing risk across all lines of defense. I combine technical skills in digital forensics, penetration testing, incident response, and threat intelligence with strategic business planning to align security with organizational goals.

My recent roles include Cybersecurity Lead at The Orbital Locker Ltd and a Cybersecurity Internship at Heathrow, complemented by multiple virtual internships and apprenticeship experiences with organizations such as PwC Switzerland, Fujitsu, ANZ, TryHackMe, and TechnoHacks EduTech. I hold an MSc in Cyber Security from Royal Holloway and a BSc (Hons) in Business with Finance from Bayes Business School.

I maintain professional credentials including the Google Cybersecurity Certificate, (ISC)² Certified in Cybersecurity, MITRE ATT&CK® Certification, AWS Cloud Practitioner Essentials, and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Lead Auditor certification. I focus on practical, defense-in-depth approaches that reduce risk, improve compliance, and strengthen incident readiness.
