What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities in Cybersecurity, a supportive team environment, and the chance to apply my IT skills in real-world scenarios.

I am a motivated and adaptable professional with a solid foundation in IT and Business, holding a BTEC Level 3 qualification. Eager to apply my acquired skills and knowledge in a dynamic work environment, I am committed to continuous learning and development. My proactive and versatile approach allows me to contribute positively to any organization while gaining valuable experience along the way.

With certifications in CompTIA Security+, A+, Network+, IT Fundamentals, and Microsoft Azure fundamentals, I have developed strong IT troubleshooting skills, proficiency in Microsoft Office, and a keen attention to detail. My recent experiences as a Sales Associate at Nike and a Door Supervisor have honed my customer service and problem-solving abilities, enabling me to exceed sales targets and ensure safety in various environments.

Additionally, my voluntary work in IT support with a Cyber Security bootcamp has equipped me with hands-on experience in diagnosing and resolving technical issues, as well as exposure to core networking concepts and basic cybersecurity techniques. I am now looking to leverage these skills in an entry-level IT role focused on Cybersecurity.
