Certified Tutor
As a cybersecurity professional with a diverse and extensive background, I bring both academic excellence and hands-on experience to my teaching. I am currently pursuing a Master's in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance from Western Governors University, building on my foundational knowledge from a Postgraduate Diploma in Applied Management and a Bachelor of Law. My certifications, including CISSP, CompTIA Security+, CySA+, and Pentest+, underscore my deep expertise in cybersecurity and information security management.
In my current role as a Cybersecurity Support Engineer at Log(N) Pacific, I implement secure cloud configurations and develop automation solutions to enhance security posture and operational efficiency. My technical proficiency extends to Microsoft Azure services, SIEM monitoring, SOAR implementation, and Python scripting, among other technologies. My experience also includes working in law enforcement, investigating cybercrimes, and developing innovative approaches to integrating machine learning with cybersecurity practices.
With a strong background in privacy law, regulatory compliance, and systems architecture, my unique combination of legal and technical expertise allows me to address cybersecurity challenges from multiple perspectives. I am also fluent in Portuguese, proficient in Spanish, and comfortable teaching in multicultural and multilingual environments.
As someone with both teaching and real-world experience, I am passionate about breaking down complex cybersecurity concepts into understandable lessons. My goal as a tutor is to help students build the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in this rapidly evolving field.

When I’m not immersed in cybersecurity challenges, I enjoy a variety of hobbies that keep me curious and inspired. As an avid traveler, I love exploring different cultures and learning new languages, which has not only broadened my worldview but also honed my Spanish and Portuguese language skills. I also have a passion for technology and coding, often creating side projects that let me experiment with new tools and programming languages. On the creative side, I enjoy photography, capturing moments from my travels and daily life. This allows me to combine my love for technology with a more artistic pursuit. In my downtime, I’m an enthusiastic reader, particularly of science fiction and cybersecurity literature, always seeking out new ideas that blend technology with imagination. Staying active is important to me as well, and I find balance through hiking and practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, both of which challenge my physical endurance and mental resilience. These hobbies not only enrich my personal life but also complement my professional career, keeping me sharp, adaptive, and ready for new challenges.
