I’m a motivated second-year BSc (Hons) Cybersecurity student with a solid foundation in networking, programming, and information security. I’m currently looking for a 12-month placement where I can put my academic knowledge into practice and develop real industry experience. Outside of university, I’ve completed a TryHackMe cybersecurity course and I’m working through the Google Cybersecurity programme, showing my commitment to building practical skills. Through my part-time work, I’ve gained strong customer service, teamwork, and organisational skills, and I pride myself on being reliable, adaptable, and eager to learn.
