About

I am passionate about making sure that everyone can enjoy the benefits of technology securely. My 15-year experience in auditing information systems gave me a detailed perspective on how each component (technology, people, process) work together to provide a system that helps organizations achieve their goals efficiently—the importance of its interrelationship as well as the risks that each of these components can introduce. I add value by being able to identify these risks and recommend controls to mitigate it, which also includes helping people understand its importance in achieving the goal of the organization. The very rapid technological development makes my job a tough endeavor. To keep up, I pursue various learning opportunities, such as training/seminars, conferences, and expert sessions. Just recently, I finished my postgraduate studies in Information Security from Royal Holloway University of London. Although I have an undergraduate degree in accountancy, I am always fascinated with technology. I remember my valedictory speech in high school was centered on the crossroad that my graduating class is facing as the world was fighting against the clock (literally) to address the possible chaos that Y2K will bring. Everyone waited in anticipation for the turn of the century, and thank God nothing happened—hurrah to the Y2K heroes. My faith is a very important part of who I am. I can say that God is the Anchor of my life, and I know that He has great plans for me that is to prosper me, to give me hope and future. I also know that because of His Goodness and Grace, I am where I am today, and because of His kindness, I am still standing.
