What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to teach and mentor in cybersecurity, fostering inclusive learning environments.

I am a Cybersecurity Engineer and Certified Technical Instructor with over 8 years of experience in threat detection, incident response, and enterprise security architecture. My journey in cybersecurity has been marked by a commitment to education and mentorship, where I have successfully delivered hands-on, virtual instruction aligned with frameworks such as NIST, MITRE ATT&CK, and ISO 27001. I take pride in simplifying complex technical concepts for diverse audiences, particularly underrepresented communities, making cybersecurity accessible and empowering for learners from all backgrounds.

In my current role at Sycom Integrated Solutions, I deliver internal training workshops on incident response and SIEM tuning while mentoring junior analysts and interns. Previously, as an IT Manager at Fantsuam Foundation, I led community-based tech education initiatives, focusing on digital skills and cybersecurity hygiene for underserved populations. My passion for teaching and supporting diverse learners drives my commitment to fostering inclusive and supportive learning environments.
