About Me

I am a cyber security consultant with a growing interest in blockchain security, I specialise in helping organisations achieve cyber resilience by aligning their people, processes and technology. I studied Banking, Financial and Management at Loughborough University and completed an industrial placement at Lloyds Banking Group within Fraud Analytics. The placement year sparked my interest in technology so postgrad I pivoted into Cyber Security and built my experience in highly regulated industries such as financial services, critical national infrastructure (CNI) and government.


Why Work With Me?

I have taken on various cyber initiatives to improve organisations' cyber posture and practices and enact lasting change in their people, processes and technology in alignment with regulatory frameworks such as NIST Cybersecurity Framework, ISO 27001 and NCSC Cybersecurity Assessment Framework .

My specialities include:

  • Technology Implementation - ensuring chosen technologies are suitable for the user and embedded seamlessly within the existing organisation's processes, driving compliance and reducing risk.

  • Knowledge Management - ensuring that employee knowledge is retained by the organisation when employees transition and empowering employees to easily find information. 

  • Staff Training - equipping staff with role and sector-specific training and building a culture that empowers staff to navigate cybersecurity matters with confidence. Examples of training include: phishing, secure code development, c-suite 

  • Process Improvement - working with the workforce to evaluate  existing cyber practices, identify inefficiencies and embed improvements that eliminate bottlenecks and eradicate waste

Through my career, I have obtained the following qualifications:

  • Blockchain Council - Blockchain Security Professional

  • ISC2 CISSP

  • AWS Solutions Architect Associate

  • EC Council - Certified Ethical Hacker

  • EC Council - Certified Incident Handler

  • CompTIA Network+

Away from consulting, I support school leavers and graduates in navigating the job market for the first time. I aim to equip them with enough information to efficiently work their way through the job hunting process, from CV writing, interview preparation and job offer negotiation whilst simultaneously building their confidence. My motivation for offering this support stems from personal experience when entering the job market for the first time it felt like everyone had some sort of secret formula for landing job roles, while I had to piece it all together through trial and error. For that reason, I created the Excelsior Career Hub, (Rebooting Your Career: A Guide for Navigating Your Career) to share everything I have learned on my journey and make it easier for the people coming after me. I have also delivered employability workshops with the Moyo Wellness Therapy Charity (formerly Safe Haven Charity), equipping service users with the tools to navigate the job market with confidence. I’m very passionate about empowering people through skills development as I have seen first-hand how it can change someone’s trajectory in life.
