Welcome to Cheltenham

Having previously trained and worked as a Veterinary Surgeon, Nathalie joined the cyber industry in 2019. She has worked in a range of roles, from software and cyber engineering to cybersecurity consulting. After attending several Ladies of London Hacking Society events during her career change (and having a marvellous time) she decided to save money on train tickets by setting up an LHS Chapter closer to home. In her role as Chapter Lead she heads up the LCHS team running our awesome meetups, as well as being a local point of contact for questions about supporting women in technical roles, and generally being more inclusive.

After completing a Degree in Forensic Computing and Security, Sarah has been working in industry since 2020. Throughout those years, a lot has been learnt! From starting out in penetration testing, to Android malware reversing and now currently working as a Cyber Research Engineer in the Operational Research team at CoreTech, Sarah has worn "many hats". To summarise, Sarah is a jack of all trades, working towards mastering at least one. Outside of work, her skills involve trying to salsa dance, frequenting the gym, and running.

Did someone say maths? Jenny will very much be around if that is the case. With a background in maths at university, she has now been working in tech since 2017 and is currently a Principal Software Engineer at Riskaware where she develops defensive cyber capabilities. If you ever need to learn about machine learning then she is your gal. Her algorithms might hurt your brain, but she will do a great job at explaining all the things.
