What I'm looking for
As an aspiring cyber-security and network security professional, I possess foundational expertise in IT support, network configuration, and cyber-security principles.

My hands-on projects, such as developing a simulated mobile money application and setting up a secure home lab network, showcase my ability to apply theoretical knowledge in practical settings. I have collaborated on initiatives like a security awareness workshop, emphasizing my commitment to educating others about cyber threats. I am a bilingual communicator, fluent in English and Shona, eager to secure entry-level roles in cyber-security, network administration, or IT security operations, and I am open to relocation for the right opportunity.
