Verified
Cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience in risk management, compliance, and security awareness, with a focus on the telecom and banking sectors. I specialize in implementing and improving controls based on ISO 27001, ISO 22301, NIST, and OWASP, helping organisations strengthen their cyber resilience. Currently working as an Information Security Consultant for a leading telecom company, where I drive risk assessments, stakeholder reporting, and awareness initiatives across departments. Previously, I managed security incident response and led audit compliance efforts (SWIFT CSP, EBA) in the banking industry, along with GDPR-aligned risk mitigation strategies. I’m an active member of Women4Cyber Portugal, advocating for diversity in tech through national campaigns and educational outreach. Fluent in English and Portuguese, I bring a blend of adaptability, fast learning, and a focus on delivering meaningful, secure change. I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Information Management with a specialization in Information Systems Management at NOVA IMS aiming to deepen both my strategic and technical expertise. Beyond cybersecurity, I have a passion for art, culture, and travel — from exploring museums to discovering new places around the world.More...
