Summary

Final-year student in HND Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics, focusing on system security, network defence, and threat analysis. I have gained and now apply foundational skills in structured risk evaluation and strict protocol adherence for confidential data to approach security with a focus on policy and compliance. My diverse work history in roles like carpentry and care has cultivated strong qualities in reliability, detail orientation, and practical problem-solving under pressure. I am dedicated to continuous learning and excited to apply this combination of technical and practical expertise in a professional cybersecurity environment.
