My talks span a variety of topics including cloud security, threat modelling, engineering culture, inclusion, career resilience and more.

I’ve represented and spoken at multiple tech events including BSides London, Capslock and women-in-tech events. I regularly give back by speaking at universities and high schools, helping others find their feet in the industry and see themselves in spaces they didn’t think were built for them.

Whether it’s a sharp 20-minute idea or a deeper hour-long dive, I’m here for talks that connect, challenge and leave something behind.
