After studying dramatic arts and working as a receptionist in luxury hotels in Paris, I realized I was not feeling fulfilled. Despite my artistic ambitions, I was always drawn to tech, building websites in my free time.

I made a bold shift in my career, earning a computer science degree and starting as a developer for a global company.
But something was missing...

I wanted to secure the pieces of software I was building and pursue my passion for Justice.
That’s when cybersecurity, and specifically pentesting, became my focus. I immersed myself in self-education, documenting my journey on my blog, and within a year and a half, I landed my first pentesting role in Canada.

Now, with 11 years in IT and 6 years as a pentester, I work for the largest banking cooperative in North America, using my skills to protect critical data and systems. My journey proves that with curiosity, determination, and a passion for learning, you can reinvent yourself and thrive in any field.
