+    description: "Built and launched an interactive browser-based GRC simulator designed to help aspiring and working professionals practice real-world governance, risk, and compliance workflows. The lab includes dashboards, assets, risks, controls, vendors, issues, reporting, and guided learning experiences and projects that make GRC more hands-on and practical. Since launch, it has grown to 3.5K+ active users, 116K+ events, 60K+ views, and an average session duration of 8m 40s."

+## About Me
+
+I moved into cybersecurity GRC after spending more than 10 years in HR, recruitment, and people-focused roles. That background shaped how I approach security today.
+
+As I transitioned into cybersecurity, I built hands-on technical skills alongside GRC and ranked in the Top 1% on TryHackMe, reaching Diamond League. That experience gave me a much stronger understanding of how technical security connects with governance, risk, and compliance in the real world.
+
+While learning GRC, I kept seeing the same problem: people could explain risk registers, controls, evidence, and audits, but they rarely had a place to actually practice them. That gap led me to build the Free GRC Practice Lab, an interactive browser-based simulator designed to make GRC more practical, visual, and hands-on.
+
+In under 45 days since launch, the GRC Practice Lab has grown to 3.5K+ active users, generated 116K+ events, reached 60K+ views, and maintained an average session duration of 8m 40s, validating strong demand for hands-on GRC learning.
+
+Today, I’m focused on product-driven GRC, control design, risk analysis, audit readiness, and building better learning experiences for the cybersecurity community.
+
