    Hey everyone, and happy Monday (evening) to you! No, I hadn’t forgotten to post my outfit recap. I was pretty laid up all day Sunday, with what I believe was a case of mild food poisoning. I spent the day in bed, and food was the furthest thing from my mind all day long. I’m…

About Me

Hi, I’m Terry.

After more than 20 years in IT — mostly in desktop support — I’ve recently found myself drawn to the world of cybersecurity. But not the ultra-technical kind. What fascinates me most is the human side of security: how people engage with technology, where empathy and awareness meet risk. I like to think of it as human risk management.

Outside of that, I’ve always had a deep love for fashion and personal style. I believe what we wear can quietly reflect who we are and how we carry ourselves — even in the tech world.

This blog is a blend of these two parts of me: what I wear to work each day, and what’s happening in cybersecurity — especially the kind that affects everyday people. My posts aren’t heavy on jargon or tech speak. They’re written from the heart, with the hope of making security feel a little more human, a little more relatable. They are authentic, and #VulnerablyMe.

    Hey there, everyone, it’s-a me! 😁 The past few weeks have been rather chaotic, so my apologies for going incommunicado here. The household dealt with some sickness the week before last, and the weather wasn’t so cooperative one day this past week. Out of all of those weeks, I have…
