"I realized my 8 years analyzing contract risk was identical to threat assessment. The technical side took time, but my ability to explain security decisions to leadership made me immediately valuable."
"Compliance background got me hired. I spent 6 months on technical certs and labs, but my understanding of regulatory frameworks meant I could jump into incident response roles faster than pure tech people."
"Healthcare security demanded someone who understood HIPAA AND how attackers work. My legal foundation was 70% of the job; learning the technical 30% took focused effort but opened doors immediately."
I went through my own career transition. The doubt. The imposter syndrome. The "is it too late for me?"
The one thing I needed was a room full of people going through the same thing. Not mentors. Not influencers. Just real people, mid-transition, willing to talk honestly.
That room didn't exist. So I built it.
