About Me

I started my career as a technical writer/information developer at HPE where I empowered cloud developers and engineers by crafting clear documentation to quickly onboard to the platform. I quickly yearned to become more technical and became intrigued with cloud security. With this experience in hand, I've embarked on a journey into the world of cloud, with AWS being my cloud of choice. I have worked tirelessly to bridge my knowledge gaps. I'm fueled by a thirst for knowledge and growth and I consistently seek new opportunities for both!
