At 17, I was discouraged by a career advisor against studying IT at university. At 21, I was discouraged by a career adviser against seeking a profession in Computer Forensics. Now in my early 30s, I have spent over 10 years working in the IT Industry specialising in Computer Forensics, eDiscovery, Investigations and Open Source Intelligence & Threat Intelligence. If I could have one wish in my career, it is to wish that I had a mentor figure and support as I was trying to start my career. My advice to all trying to kick start their career in the Cyber Security field... "Push on and push through, seek out those with the same spark and together shine." - Skye Wu.Professionally I am passionate about:* Using Data, Smart Tools, working with even Smarter People to identify yet unknown risks.* Using Intelligence to help protect the customer and company's data. * Using Intelligence to drive collaboration to a better and more secure future.* Educating and increase awareness around security risks and threats.* Develop streamlined and repeatable intelligence reporting / assessment processes.* Talent scouting* Inspire motivate women to pursue their dreamsI was born in Shanghai, China. I came to Australia at the age of 11 and have lived in Melbourne ever since. I don't think I could live anywhere else long term... except maybe New York... (maybe). I have worked in a number of different industries including Government, Professional Services / Consulting, small boutique firm and now large corporation. I have also been fortunate enough to have travelled and worked in a number of countries and have built an international and domestic network of likeminded IT professionals. My current role at Telstra has given me the opportunity to combine my passion for finding the truth, problem solving, critical thinking and collaboration through my work with the Discovery team. I am an investigator, a consultant, an analyst, a recruiter; best of all, I am me.
