Lesley Carhart :unverified:<p>Should I really do an <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a> ? I’m already loud and obnoxious… I’ll follow etiquette though.</p><p>I’m Lesley, from Chicago. Now an immigrant in Melbourne. I have been doing <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>infosec</span></a> for quite a while now. I focus on <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/dfir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dfir</span></a> for <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ics</span></a> and critical infrastructure. I do a lot of talks and career clinics and writing about that - links in profile. I'm available as a <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/KeynoteSpeaker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KeynoteSpeaker</span></a> and I want to talk at your con. ✨</p><p>Outside work I do lots of stuff. I’m really into <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/martialarts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>martialarts</span></a> even though I’ll never be super good. I have two fourth degree black belts in <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/TangSooDo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TangSooDo</span></a> and <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/taekwondo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>taekwondo</span></a>. I also study <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/arnis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>arnis</span></a> and Kung Fu. I coach middle schoolers. I also love <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gaming</span></a>, especially a <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/mmorpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mmorpg</span></a>. I watch lots of geeky movies and <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cosplay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cosplay</span></a> at cons even though I’m ancient. I’m a goof. I also shoot <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/bows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bows</span></a> and <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/pistols" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pistols</span></a> competitively. I love a good gin martini. I can chat about almost anything.</p><p>I retired from the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/USAF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USAF</span></a> reserves in 2021 after an interesting career seeing a lot of the world. </p><p>I am publicly 🏳️🌈 <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/NonBinary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NonBinary</span></a> and <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/asexual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>asexual</span></a>. I prefer they/them pronouns for that reason, but I don’t get upset when people accidentally mess it up. Gender is silly, and I prefer to not participate in gender roles! I never married or had kids for that reason, but people are great and I have lots of awesome pals to have adventures with. 🤷🏻♀️🍸</p><p>I care deeply about <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/humanrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humanrights</span></a> and <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/socialjustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>socialjustice</span></a>. I am a proud <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/atheist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>atheist</span></a> and <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/humanist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humanist</span></a>. It’s integral to who I am. I care about people today and future generations being well and safe. I’ll get mad for you, because I care.</p>
