Curious about technology and committed to safeguarding individuals' and companies' data, I moved into cybersecurity driven by a desire to mitigate risks and defend against cyber threats. Witnessing the repercussions of cyber attacks firsthand, I wanted to ensure this did not happen to others.Transitioning from over fifteen years in travel management to cybersecurity, I bring a unique blend of technical expertise and strong communication skills including fluency in English and Arabic. In my previous roles as a Business Travel Consultant, Travel Manager, and Senior Travel Agent, I developed valuable skills in client consulting, operations management, accounting, negotiation, and customer service. These experiences have honed my ability to communicate effectively, manage projects efficiently, and adapt to diverse environments.My educational background includes a Cybersecurity Analytics Program certificate from Flatiron School, a Master's degree in Computer Information Systems from Eastern Michigan University, and a Bachelor's degree in Accounting from Zagazig University.
