“I am honoured to share my experience of having Eddie as my mentor! Immediately after your security orientation on my first day at work back in 2018, I knew I wanted to be part of the Security team at the company. Even though I was nervous, I reached out to Eddie soon after, and he gave me some great tips on how to reach my goals. He also shared plenty of resources to help expand my knowledge and was always open to any questions I had. I know I had a lot of them too.
Eddie has spared no effort in helping me grow in the field and guiding me through any challenges I face. I now have the confidence to contribute meaningful work at my current position and take on any obstacles that I come across. I genuinely could not have asked for a better mentor and friend.
