I’ve completed the train the trainer workshop on AI skills organised by the CyberPeace Institute, equipping me with the knowledge to help not‑for‑profits harness the power of AI for good.
I look forward to supporting not‑for‑profits in building their AI capabilities, from foundational training on responsible use of AI to hands‑on guidance on transforming data into actionable insights.

A big shoutout to CyberPeace for this awesome recognition! It’s been such a rewarding experience to help them in their mission to make the digital world safer for everyone.
The CyberPeace Institute is a non-profit focused on reducing the harm caused by cyberattacks to individuals and communities. Through their CyberPeace Builders program, they offer free cybersecurity support to organisations that need it most, especially those where cyber threats can have a serious impact.
As a volunteer, I’ve had the chance to help for-purpose organisations respond to cyber attacks, develop incident response plans, run security awareness training, perform dark web monitoring and craft essential policies and procedures. Plus, I’ve provided general cyber advice along the way. It’s been an incredible journey being part of a team that’s making a real difference.
I’m honoured to be a recipient of the Professor Wanbil Lee Prize for Ethical Leaders in Business.
This award recognises individuals who demonstrate entrepreneurship, innovation, leadership and business ethics which are reflected in active ethical practice within their workplace.
As a cyber security leader, I feel strongly about social issues related to human rights in the context of privacy, data protection and safe use of technology. I believe technology can be an enabler but also a potential cause of harm that needs to be considered.
I started volunteering with the CyberPeace Institute to leverage my cyber and technology skills to empower not-for-profit organisations to combat cyber threats and protect the communities they serve.
I have a keen interest in the not-for-profit sector because its commitment to mission aligns with my personal values and goals. As part of my Executive MBA studies, I completed the Social Impact course that provided me with an insight into complex problems in society and how I can leverage my skills to help tackle them.
One of my biggest learnings from this course relates to demonstrating social impact.
I previously viewed social impact measurement as a distraction from doing actual work imposed by funders and regulators. It was easier for me to focus on outputs rather than long-term outcomes and impact, because they were readily available and straightforward to report on. This course broadened my perspective and helped me distinguish between outputs and lasting social, economic and environmental effects.
Applying course concepts, particularly Theory of Change and Logic Models helped me see the benefits of social impact measurement like learning and personal development, increased accountability, transparency and trust and overall organisational improvement.
In this blog I’ll share some of the tools that can be used to analyse a particular problem. We will use homelessness as an example and compare how two organisations tackle this problem and demonstrate social impact.
