With all the exciting news in the last few weeks, we’re excited to share that we have more: edgefi is growing! With a fresh look, new name, and shiny new award from the 4oth annual Oregon Tech Awards, we’re excited to continue investing heavily into building a robust cybersecurity solutions team at our headquarters in Downtown Vancouver, WA.
We recently had the pleasure of welcoming a new Project Coordinator to the team to help us with our mission. Megan Riley brings a great blend of creativity, organization, vision, and innovation to edgefi. We look forward to what lies ahead!
Get to Know Megan:
When you’re not at work, how do you enjoy spending your time?
When I’m not at work, I enjoy a variety of activities. I love getting creative with arts and crafts and riding my bike to the Saturday Market, and I have even tried my hand at axe throwing. But my favorite pastime? Spending quality time at home with my family, whether it’s cozying up for a movie night or just hanging out together.
What’s your favorite movie or book, and why?
It’s hard to pick just one favorite movie, but if I had to choose, it would be “Pride and Prejudice.” As for TV shows, I’m a big fan of “IT Crowd,” “Game of Thrones,” and “Parks and Recreation.” Each one brings its own unique blend of humor, drama, and intrigue that keeps me hooked.
Do you have any kids or pets?
Yep, I’m a proud cat parent to two adorable furballs. They may not fetch or do tricks, but they sure know how to brighten my day with their antics.
What are two truths and a lie about you?
Alright, time for some fun facts about me. Can you guess which one is the lie?
- I’m currently learning Dutch.
- I hold certifications as both a Certified Scrum Master and a Professional Scrum Master 1.
- I’ve actually won an award for my pottery skills.
Who has been a significant influence in your career?
Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to have the guidance and support of my family. We’re three generations of cybersecurity professionals, and their influence has shaped my journey in more ways than I can count.
What’s on your professional bucket list?
When it comes to my professional bucket list, I’m all about certifications. Right now, I’m focused on obtaining my PMP certification, and I’ve got my sights set on pursuing some Six Sigma Belts down the line.
What do you enjoy most about working in the cybersecurity industry?
What draws me to the cybersecurity industry is the constant evolution and innovation. It’s like solving a never-ending puzzle, always keeping me on my toes and pushing me to think outside the box.
What are you most excited about with your new role at Edge?
As the newest member of edgefi’s PMO, I couldn’t be more thrilled. I’m eager to lend my support to our team and clients, contributing to the continued success and growth of our services.
Okay, what was the lie?
No, my pottery is not award-winning (yet), but I was a studio aid in college and had a pottery exhibit at our yearly science fair.
Bonus question: What’s your cyber hot take?
Font websites should be off-limits to cybercriminals. I just want to type in a cool font without getting viruses.
Welcome to the team, Megan! We’re so excited that you’re here.
