Experienced ICT Trainer with a background in cybersecurity and intelligence.
What I'm looking for
With nearly a decade of experience as a professional chef, I transitioned into national law enforcement and intelligence, followed by roles in defense consulting and cybersecurity software startups. My diverse background has equipped me with a unique perspective on problem-solving, and I leverage data analytics to derive meaningful insights that reflect real value.
In my current role as an ICT Trainer at South Wales Fire & Rescue Service, I train staff on ICT best practices, develop training content, and enhance organizational knowledge of cybersecurity. My collaborative approach and strong work ethic enable me to build effective relationships across departments, ensuring that training is tailored to meet the specific needs of various teams.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to continuous learning and improvement, whether through developing training materials or engaging in spontaneous hobbies like drone photography and cabin building. I thrive on challenges and am dedicated to maximizing efficiency and effectiveness in every project I undertake.
