With no background in IT or security, she started out answering phones, unsure of how to respond to technical questions and heavily relying on engineers for answers. Through curiosity and persistence, Amy asked questions, learned on the job, and gradually built a deep understanding of the cybersecurity landscape. Today, she works on the business side, supporting engineers and helping solve real problems by bridging the gap between business needs and technical solutions. Her path is a testament to learning by doing and growing into expertise through determination and collaboration.
