01 / About
Who I Am
I'm a cybersecurity-focused student at the Australian National University (ANU), pursuing a Bachelor of Computing with Major in Cybersecurity. My passion lies in incident management, crisis response, and building a stronger cybersecurity community.
As Cybersecurity Officer for the ANU Computer Science Students Association, I've led the Disorientation CTF — a 130-person, 4-day competition during orientation week that brought together $5,800 in sponsorships from three companies. I'm deeply committed to lifting those around me and sharing my passion for the field.
Beyond the classroom, I actively participate in Canberra's cybersecurity community, attending BSides 2025, ISACA Canberra Chapter conferences, Canberra Cyber Hub events, and CSides monthly sectalks. I'm a people person who thrives on collaboration and mentorship.
