I’ve been really lazy about this, but here’s my #introduction post

My name is Chelsea, but honestly call me pinky irl and I’ll still respond. I have my PhD in IT regarding redefining risk so that it can be calculated in automatically for small businesses. I work in #infosec in particular #dfir (more so the #IR portion) - currently as a mix of a SOC analyst and threat hunter. I also teach!

I love helping the community and volunteer as a staff member for #bsidessatx. As a result if you’re ever looking to get involved, I’ll be happy to point you the right way (but as always, no guarantees). I’ve also previously presented at Defcon Blue Team Village, SANS Blue Team Summit, and Texas Cyber Summit.

Outside of #infosec I spend a majority of my time playing #ffxiv I’ve been considering talking about this more, as I don’t often discuss infosec due to a constant burn out and imposter syndrome.

I’m bisexual/pansexual (happy to identify as either) and a gray asexual which just keeps life interesting I have currently she/her pronouns, although some days im leaning toward she/they
