Currently, a Consultant in the Governance, Risk & Compliance team at CyberCX, protecting customers through audits, assessments, and sharing expertise. From ISO27001 to E8 to ISM to bespoke threat, risk, and vendor assessments, I've been leading and providing support to perform fast-paced engagements with ongoing customers by running customer-centric workshops and providing practical recommendations in reports.
Hello! It's nice to make your acquaintance and I hope we get the chance to meet in person. Right now, I have been diving deeper into my professional career, exploring all types of roles across tech and cybersecurity. I originally come from a UX degree, that has given me a unique perspective on the implementation of various projects and ongoing engagements across Cybersecurity Governance, Risk Frameworks, SaaS Security Awareness Training, SAP HRIS consulting, and even immersive VR Research at CSIRO. From my degree, I've worked on projects and collaborations with organisations such as KPMG, Harris Farms, Grains & Legumes Nutrition Council, StrongLED, and IBM - doing anything from UX Design work to creative developing to business proposals. My current experience in "scale-up" consulting and "start-up" tech has truly evolved my perspective on how a business works - from the importance of established processes to the necessity to be flexible for a product in flux, the relationships you build with prospects and customers become practice for the rapport building between other department leads. My interests in a role have grown towards working in a team with unified expectations and empathy for the holistic customer experience. Whether it be developing a risk framework or implementing SAT, my passion is to provide customers with an impactful and meaningful experience from both the product/service and the interactions with Sales, Customer Success, and Support.

I thrive in finding creative solutions and learning new tools to do so.
With my current role in GRC, I've built experience across frameworks such as ISO27001:2022, ACSC ISM Cybersecurity Principles & Essential 8, NIST CSF, and bespoke third-party risk assessments. As a certified ISO27001 lead auditor, and through my previous experience communicating ISMS responsibilities internally and to customers as a Sales Engineer at Phriendly Phishing, I am most familiar with the ISO27001 standard.
A large part of what I love about cybersecurity is the strong community and opportunities that are on offer if you are looking to build meaningful connections in your network. Through the AWSN and GTIA mentorship programs, I've met invaluable mentors to guide me through my own professional development and am now looking at how I can give back to the community through the GTIA Sydney Chapter.
From UI Theory to Interactivity to Accessibility, I love the thought and theory that goes into Web Coding. Nowadays, with how easily accessible creating websites is, comes the importance for those websites to be able to be used by everyone. While I mostly use web coding for silly projects for my friends now (https://howlonghasitbeensincemayahaslostsmth.github.io), I hope I'll be able to design for all types of users in the future.
Through my experience at CSIRO's Data61, I've delved into the applications of VR and gamification using Unity 3D Game Engine as a super versatile tool. Ever since, I've been constantly prototyping mini-games for my friends and as a personal hobby and use it as a tool for fast-prototyping at work whenever I get the opportunity.
As a UX major, being adept in Figma as a prototyping tool is essential. I have used Figma day in and day out of my UX Career to mock up various apps and programs for diverse interfaces - from mobile screens to smart mirrors.
My favourite way to fast prototype is with physical computing, and with it, comes a plethora of transferable skills: programming, CAD, quick iteration and development, and handiwork. The various projects I've used Arduino for, demonstrates the flexibility of my skillset from end-to-end development.
Here are some of the notable things happening in my life recently.

My GTIA mentorship journey linked me with Zeena Skelly, an amazing mentor with a similar journey as me into cybersecurity: studying a non-technical degree, finding our way into tech sales, and wanting more learning and development from what cybersecurity has to offer. Through the program, I learnt about how those in Leadership developed from the path I'm on now, how the same problems I experience today were manifested in the past, and how to navigate working in a male-dominated space. I'm grateful for my experience in the program and strive to continue my GTIA journey as part of the new GTIA Sydney Chapter.

The Youth Mentoring Program at Wesley Mission is based off an extended family model, where I can provide support, mentorship, friendship, and guidance to an individual adolescent who is undergoing challenging family circumstances. My commitments involve dedicating time to spend time with my mentee at least once a month to spend the day doing whatever we decide we want to do whether it be ice skating, hiking, geocaching or something more educational. If you'd like to learn more, I would love to talk to you about it!
