PORT MACQUARIE,NSW
Summary
I am a dedicated IT and Cybersecurity professional with a strong commitment to applying technology in ways that make a meaningful impact. With over 15 years of experience in law enforcement, I developed extensive expertise in investigations, digital forensics, and data-driven problem solving. This was complemented by 4 years of IT experience in education, where I supported students and staff in leveraging technology for learning and engagement. Earlier, as a small business owner, I delivered IT services and solutions to community organisations, which helped me build a reputation for reliability, integrity, and hands-on technical ability. My unique blend of investigative and IT experience allows me to bridge the gap between security, compliance, and technical operations. I am passionate about supporting people, whether colleagues, students, or community members, through technology-driven solutions. Currently, I am completing a Graduate Certificate in Cyber Security and pursuing further studies to strengthen my expertise in cybersecurity, digital forensics, and risk management. My goal is to contribute to organisations where integrity, innovation, and community service are valued.
