Why do you enjoy working in the cyber security field? 

OT cyber security is focused on protecting the critical part of critical infrastructure – the networks which operate the physical assets that keep the lights on, and the water clean in our communities. This field gives me a mission and a sense of purpose in my day to day.

What are your words of advice to encourage other women to work in the space? 

Over the past 5-10 years the field of cyber security has evolved as dramatically as the technologies we leverage in our day to day lives.
