Squiggly Careers Are the New Norm. My Journey From Chemistry to Cybersecurity
As you can imagine I had a squiggly career path, where I started off as a confused Chemistry student, to now working as a Senior Cybersecurity Specialist. This was not an easy or straightforward journey, as I went through periods of confusion, fear of the unknown and didn’t even secure a graduate job after university.
Despite this, I ended up where I was meant to be. As part of this keynote topic I explore my squiggly career journey, the challenges and opportunities that come with navigating an unconventional career pathway and provide motivation for young people to keep going even in the midst of uncertainty.
The Unusual The Intersection Between Chemistry and Cybersecurity.
As part of this talk I explore my squiggly career from Chemistry to Cybersecurity.
I also explore how modules within Chemistry (sustainability, healthcare and pharmaceutical) could help in our understanding of Cybersecurity concepts.
Increasing Diversity of Talent within STEM
There is a lack of diversity within the STEM fields. Currently within the Tech industry women only account for around 26% of the IT workforce. It is essential we increase diversity in STEM so that it is representative of the society we live in.
Reflecting on my own personal journey I will provide strategies for organisations to help them support women/girls in pursuing careers within STEM. Some of these strategies include: mentorship’s, career insight weeks, partnerships with university societies and a whole lot more. This work is essential as according to a report by PwC Only 27% of female students we surveyed say they would consider a career in technology, compared to 61% of males.
AI. An Opportunity or Threat within the Field of Cybersecurity.
Will AI help in improving cyber resilience or will it help accelerate cyber disruption. This talk will explore the cyber threat landscape and AI's role within this.
