Who I am

I'm an independent security advisor and a woman in tech, 26 years old, with three years of deep focus on Network and IT security. Alongside my studies I've specialised in compliance, regulatory frameworks, and privacy. I didn't wait to feel ready. I built consulting service while studying because I kept seeing the same problem; Startups and SaaS companies trying to do the right thing on security, being pointed toward tools and dashboards built for companies ten times their size. I also saw something most advisors ignore: you don't need access to a company's systems to understand where they're exposed.

My background is technical. My approach is human. I translate real security risks into language founders can actually act on connecting technical gaps to business impact, compliance obligations, and operational exposure. I'm driven by one thing: preventing data breaches before they happen. Not after. Not during. Before.

The threat landscape evolves constantly. So do I. Not because someone handed me a career path, but because I genuinely care about how security works in the real world.

How I think about security

Security and compliance shouldn’t be:

Overcomplicated

Expensive

Built only for large companies

They should be:

Practical

Understandable

Affordable

Built for how modern companies actually operate

A bridge between key areas

This work connects three critical areas:

IT & Security
Where your systems and integrations are exposed

Compliance & GDPR
Where you don’t meet requirements, where you should meet it

Business Impact
What it actually means for your company
