What I'm looking for

I seek a role in cybersecurity where I can grow, learn, and contribute to a secure digital environment.

I am an undergraduate IT student at the Professional Academy UCD in Dublin, Ireland, with a strong aspiration to become a Security Engineer. My foundational knowledge encompasses network security, threat intelligence, risk management, and vulnerability analysis. I am passionate about security and eager to learn from experts in the field.

With over 8 years of experience in fast-paced, high-pressure environments within the hospitality sector, I have honed my skills in strategic planning, problem-solving, and teamwork. I am eager to leverage my analytical thinking, attention to detail, and customer service strengths in a cybersecurity context, aiming to contribute effectively to a dynamic team.
