Meet Eden!
Hi! I’m Eden – yes, like the Garden of. I was born and raised in Connecticut and don’t plan on leaving as it’s been home for 34 years!
I attended Marist College for both undergraduate and graduate school. I have a BA in TV/Radio/Film and an MA in Marketing! While working in experiential events, I found a love for marketing and wanted to broaden my knowledge, so I returned to school.
I am very family-oriented and pride myself on being the “cool” aunt to my nieces, who are more like my best friends. I also have a cat named Luna (named after Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter) who likes to make her appearance on calls frequently.
Tell us a surprising fact about yourself…
I was on MTV TRL in the early 2000s! I was deemed the Jonas Brothers’ biggest fan but lost out in the trivia competition to another fan. Don’t ask me to find the footage of it… it’s buried with my past love for the JoBros.
If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
I’d want to be able to fly. It would be great to get anywhere faster, especially when there’s traffic!
What are some things you enjoy doing outside of work?
One of my favorite things is going to concerts—especially K-pop ones! There’s something different about the performances; I’m in awe of the talent.
I am also a shopaholic and love going shopping. In good weather, I also enjoy going to amusement parks as I consider myself a rollercoaster junkie. If time and money were no object, I would also travel a ton more. I love sightseeing and exploring new places!
Lastly, I love to bake. The more challenging the recipe, the more likely I will try it! It’s relaxing to me, and then I get excited when others get to try it and admit that it came out good!
Tell us about your role at Rhymetec…
I’m a marketing associate at Rhymetec. I focus on lead generation, email campaigns, events/webinars, and partnerships. I have also been crowned the meme queen on social media!
Why did you pursue a career in the cybersecurity industry?
I come from a background in haircare/beauty, CPG, and, more recently, SaaS, so cybersecurity was a brand new venture for me when I pursued my position at Rhymetec.
After being here for 7 months, I’ve learned how fascinating it is and being able to pursue a career in the cybersecurity industry now has been extremely rewarding for me.
Like I tell everyone, I grew up on the computer rather than playing outside with friends. I’ve always been interested in anything and everything related to technology, so learning about cybersecurity has piqued my interest further and, I feel, comes naturally to me. So naturally that I am currently studying for my Security+ certification!
What is your favorite part about working at Rhymetec, or in the cybersecurity industry?
My favorite part about working at Rhymetec is I am constantly learning new things. I am also surrounded by some of the most intelligent, kind, and knowledgeable people who make every day here feel like home. I am grateful for this opportunity and so lucky to work with such amazing people daily!
What is the best advice you have ever received?
My mom has always taught me to love myself first. Whether in my work or self-esteem, you need to love and believe in yourself before you can expect anyone else to return the love and confidence. When you feel confident, everything else will come naturally to you.
From a security or compliance perspective, what advice would you give to a potential client or SaaS business?
I would tell a potential client or SaaS business to TRUST Rhymetec! Not because I work here or anything – but because we have some of the most robust services, and our team is smart, quick, and ready to work. We have some of the best cybersecurity analysts and penetration testers in the game. Always trust your gut with the best in the business—it’ll be worth it when you gain your certifications and become compliant!
