What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters growth in cybersecurity, values collaboration, and emphasizes continuous learning.

I am a disciplined professional with over 6 years of experience in the British Army’s Royal Engineers, now transitioning into cybersecurity. My specialization lies in Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), information security, and secure infrastructure management. I hold certifications in CompTIA Security+, Network+, and Microsoft Security, and have proven expertise in vendor risk management, IT audits, and regulatory compliance across various frameworks such as NIST CSF, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, SOX, and GDPR.

Throughout my career, I have led full-scope risk assessments, authored key security documentation, and contributed to incident response efforts to enhance organizational security posture. My experience includes working with GRC platforms like RSA Archer, ServiceNow, and Audit Board to oversee vendor due diligence and support governance programs. I am currently expanding my knowledge in DevOps and security automation to strengthen operational resilience, known for my strong analytical thinking, clear communication, and collaborative approach to improving security and efficiency across technical teams.
