Cyber Security Management

ISMS specialist and Master's student in Cyber Security Management at Hochschule Niederrhein. I combine solid experience in GRC, ISO 27001 and SIEM analysis with a passion for human layer security and process automation.

Security-first. Always.

As a working student in information security at Fressnapf, I actively support ISMS implementation according to ISO 27001, lead security awareness trainings and automate GRC processes using Microsoft Power Automate, combining technical know-how with strategic thinking.

My Master's in Cyber Security Management at Hochschule Niederrhein deepens my knowledge in penetration testing, SIEM analysis and IT risk management, complemented by hands-on experience with Splunk, Microsoft Defender and Entra ID.
