What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead IAM and cybersecurity projects, work with multidisciplinary teams, improve access controls and compliance, and grow into technical or managerial security leadership.

I am an organised, results-oriented Cybersecurity and Identity & Access Management analyst with hands-on experience across incident response, vulnerability management, auditing and reporting. I combine technical proficiency with strong stakeholder and communication skills to deliver secure access solutions.

I have led IAM initiatives and managed integrations and deployments, including Ascom/Vocera for a hospital go-live and organisation-wide multifactor authentication migration to MS Authenticator. I also implemented Egress Secure Messaging and managed secret value renewals via Entra ID.

In operational roles I have managed day-to-day IAM for third-party systems using SailPoint, overseen RBAC optimisation, maintained Active Directory and Delinea Secret Server accounts, and used tools such as CrowdStrike, Nessus, Symantec Endpoint, Tanium and Tableau for security hygiene and reporting.

I hold Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus, NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit, and ISO 27001/27701 related achievements, and I actively contribute to employee resource groups and women-in-cyber initiatives. I am eager to continue growing my technical and project leadership capabilities.
