About

I am a graduate of Monash University with a double degree in Information Technology and Science, majoring in Cybersecurity and Microbiology with a minor in Pharmacology. My academic background combines technical computing skills with laboratory science training, providing a multidisciplinary approach to analysing complex systems and risks. Through my Information Technology studies, I have developed experience in technical support, system troubleshooting, risk-based system analysis, and extensive network design, alongside a strong foundation in cybersecurity principles. I am particularly interested in the responsible governance and security of emerging technologies, including AI-enabled systems. My Science studies have provided hands-on laboratory experience and strong analytical skills through microbiology and pharmacology coursework, including experimental design, data interpretation, and scientific problem solving. This training has reinforced a strong approach to analysing biological systems and evaluating risk. I am seeking opportunities where I can apply my interdisciplinary training, including roles in IT, cybersecurity, technical support, laboratory-based scientific work, or research. I am open to working in a broad range of fields and look forward to developing more skills, professional and interpersonal.
