Summary

As a dedicated and technically proficient individual with a multi-disciplinary background of studying A-level Mathematics, Economics and L3 Design Engineer and construction (DEC) and currently studying for a cybersecurity degree, I am eager to transition into a Cybersecurity placement. My academic background has honed my analytical and problem-solving skills, while my current pursuit of a Cyber Security degree has provided me with a deep understanding of network security principles and concepts. I have proactively sought opportunities to deepen my knowledge in this field using applications such as Tryhackme, studying for the CCNA certification, and attending live events and talks.
