ISACA Vancouver Chapter

Do you have a mentor? I believe you do. From my experience at the recent ISACA Vancouver Chapter, I realized that mentorship can come in many forms, from conversations with managers to guidance during sales calls. I am deeply grateful to all the mentors I’ve met on my journey. You have shaped my career, sometimes even without intention. Now, it’s my turn to give back as an official mentor in the ISACA mentorship program. I’m excited to share that I’ve been matched with Gontse Faith Molosiwa, a fantastic mentee whose focus on cybersecurity and blockchain perfectly aligns with my experience. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and learning from her fresh perspectives. A huge thank you to the ISACA mentorship team for this incredible opportunity. The recent mentorship meeting was filled with valuable insights on how to be an impactful mentor, and I’m ready to use these tips for our journey. Continuing sharing knowledge and learning together! #Mentorship #Cybersecurity #ISACA
