Transitioning professional skilled in cybersecurity and threat research.
What I'm looking for
I am a transitioning professional with foundational training in cybersecurity and hands-on internship experience. My journey began with a B.Sc. in Health Education, but I have since pivoted towards cybersecurity, where I have developed skills in threat research, security awareness, and process optimization. Currently, I am pursuing the Google Cybersecurity Certificate, which I expect to complete in 2025.
During my internship at Bayelsa State Tech Hub, I assisted in creating security workshops focused on phishing and password safety. I also conducted research on various threats, including phishing and ransomware, contributing to risk reports that documented system vulnerabilities and proposed mitigation strategies. My role as an Administrative Assistant at AGM TECHPLUSE has further honed my skills, where I streamlined workflows for faster documentation and supported incident report drafting.
