Career Pivots and Cyber Paths: Eunice's Path from Medicine to Cybersecurity

Episode notes

Have you ever had to completely pivot your career dreams? On the latest Episode of Inclusive Cyber, I sat down with Eunice A. Golloh a cybersecurity professional with a remarkable story of determination and adaptability. Eunice's journey began with dreams of becoming a doctor, but the financial challenges of medical school led her to explore other options. Thanks to a friend’s recommendation, she discovered cybersecurity—a field she knew nothing about at the time. Fast forward nearly a decade, and she’s thriving in a career she loves, pursuing her doctoral degree, and inspiring others to step into their potential. Key takeaways from our conversation: Don’t fear the pivot. Sometimes life’s biggest opportunities come disguised as detours. Certifications + determination = momentum. Eunice’s first steps into cybersecurity started with certifications, self-study, and sheer grit. Mentorship matters. She emphasized the importance of finding mentors and a support network to push you forward when you feel stuck.
