Oh, hey there!
Welcome.


So nice to meet you!

I am Amanda. I transitioned from being a cybersecurity research practitioner to working in content and social media marketing for security companies. I have a Master's in Cybersecurity and several years of experience in the industry. I am also a cyber content creator in my spare time sharing security awareness tips to everyday users.

I began the Mindfulness Diary as The Glam Techie with the vision of sharing my love of beauty, makeup, lifestyle, cybersecurity, and technology with others in a great capacity. Because the reality is that cybersecurity and online safety impacts everybody.

My goal for this site is to provide simple cybersecurity tips to share with both techies and non-techies in order to better help navigate the cybersecurity issues that affect all of us in our world today.

My hope is that the content here will provide you with more knowledge, education, awareness, inspiration, and empowerment to better protect yourself online so you can carry that knowledge of cybersecurity with you in your everyday life.

Thanks for stopping by!
