Currently working as a Security Consultant II in a SecDevOps team at TELUS, where I have led multiple design/development projects. I have the privilege to be part of the Graduate Technology Leadership Program (GTLP) at TELUS, where I got to work with different teams and diversify my technical skills. GTLP also helped me improve my leadership skills as I was the onboarding prime for the program and helped provide 1-1 mentorship to co-ops.
I am highly passionate about Cyber Security and have worked as an Incident Responder and a Security Analyst. I also have a great understanding of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and DevOps practices. I am currently preparing for my CISSP certification and am open to part-time or freelancing work.

I possess excellent communication skills, allowing me to effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams and clearly convey complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
