I began my career as a self-taught developer, overcoming homelessness and the absence of formal education through the discovery of coding. As I delved deeper into technology, I found my passion in cybersecurity and entrepreneurship, particularly focusing on Identity & Access Management and STEM education for young learners. Today, I remain dedicated to enhancing security and privacy in our increasingly digital world. As a mother of two, I balance my role at Microsoft with international speaking engagements and workshops covering a range of topics, including cybersecurity best practices, entrepreneurship in the digital age, strategies for Identity & Access Management, and the importance of STEM education for future generations. My aim is to inspire others with the message that one's background does not determine their potential.
