My name is Cariad Heather Keigher and I live in the unceded territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō (Stolo), Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) first nations, otherwise known as Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada. My pronouns are "she" and "they", and I am of Irish ancestory, holding citizenship in both Canada and Ireland.
I lead a cyber security team for a Canadian company and have worked in the field for over a decade as an engineer, software developer, consultant, and incident responder in environments ranging from corporate networks to industrial control. In my off time, I am a dance performer, engage in photography, play video games, travel, enjoy the outdoors through camping or hiking, play fastpitch softball, and relax at home with my cat, Luna.
I'm also one-half of the podcast, Shawinigan Moments, a show about Canadian history. If you want to hear two queer leftists discuss their takes on the country and its past, then check us out!
