What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic work environment that fosters collaboration and innovation, where I can apply my cybersecurity knowledge and project management skills while continuing to grow professionally.

I am a highly motivated and self-directed individual currently pursuing a BSc(Hons) in Cyber Security and Networks at the University of East London, where I have achieved 1st Class Honors. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in cybersecurity strategies, risk assessment, and incident response, which I am eager to apply in a professional setting.

Throughout my experiences, including my role as an IT Support at Roycroft House and a General Shop Assistant at Bike Shack, I have developed strong technical skills and a knack for customer service. I thrive in fast-paced environments and have a proven ability to work collaboratively within teams to achieve common goals. My commitment to continuous learning and personal growth drives me to seek opportunities that challenge me and allow me to contribute effectively.
