About Me

I am a dynamic Information Security Officer with over 8 years of experience in developing and managing comprehensive security programs for SaaS companies. In my current role I work closely with our product, engineering and customer facing teams to enhance internal controls and address modern security threats.

I come from a background of software development and QA which gives me a strong understanding of software development life cycle issues and how to integrate security programs into the development of new software. I am a firm believer that Security is a shared responsibility within an organization and am passionate about engaging in educational opportunities to support this, both internally and externally with our customer base.

Somethings about me

Kayak Guide

In highschool I had the opportunity to go on a kayak trip in the Broken Group Islands off the coast of Vancouver Island. It was this experience that led to my love of kayaking. In 2012 I took my Assistant Overnight Guide course through SKILLS as a way for me to have the skills to take friends and family members on trips to experience the same incredible opportunity that I had. As a kayak guide I have to pay specific attention to marine regulations, weather, tide and current patterns as well as maintain a safe but fun trip environment.

Highland Games

In 2024 I began training and competing in the Highland Games. It has been a great community to get involved with and it is a great motivator for training. My novice season I placed first in the novice class and I look forward to the 2025 season.

Cooking

I have always had a passion for cooking starting from an early age. In my teens and early 20s I spent my summers working in commercial kitchens which helped me develop skills for fast paced, close team work, high stress environments. While I have never forgotten those experiences and use the skills I learned working in the kitchen I am glad that I now only have to cook on my own terms for myself and my family.
