ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Kathy San! I'm an IT professional who’s passionate about technology and cybersecurity. I love solving security challenges, protecting digital identities, and finding ways to make things more efficient. Wherever I go, I strive to make a real impact by creating secure and effective solutions that help people work smarter and safer.
​
My journey into IT started during my time in healthcare, where I often helped colleagues troubleshoot technical issues. That experience sparked my passion for technology and cybersecurity.​
​
I enjoy working with teams, breaking down technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders, and finding solutions that balance security with usability. My goal is to keep growing, learning, and making a meaningful impact in the cybersecurity space.
​​
Outside of technology, I love spending quality time with family and friends, enjoying activities like bowling, taking peaceful walks in the park, and exploring new places through travel.
