What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, teamwork, and innovative cybersecurity solutions.

I am an aspiring cybersecurity professional with a strong foundation in cybersecurity principles and a commitment to ongoing learning and advancement. My journey began at Moringa School, where I honed my skills in cybersecurity and full-stack development. I have a keen interest in network protection and threat analysis, and I am eager to apply my knowledge in a Cyber Security Intern position.

Throughout my training, I have gained hands-on experience in various aspects of cybersecurity, including risk assessment, incident response, and digital forensics. I have completed projects that involved studying core cybersecurity principles, exploring malware types, and understanding the significance of cybersecurity in global infrastructure. My practical experience includes working with tools like Wireshark and configuring firewalls, which has equipped me with the skills necessary to identify and mitigate security threats effectively.

In addition to my technical skills, I possess strong soft skills such as attention to detail, problem-solving, and effective communication. I am passionate about translating complex technical findings into understandable reports for non-technical stakeholders. I am excited to contribute to a dynamic team and further develop my expertise in security monitoring and incident response.
