During the Deloitte Cybersecurity simulation, I analysed suspicious activity, assessed system vulnerabilities, and identified potential risks to protect sensitive data. This experience strengthened my problem-solving ability, critical thinking and practical cybersecurity skills, which are crucial for protectingcorganisations against evolving cyber threats, and ensuring the integrity of sensitive information.

I tutor students in computer science online via my TikTok channel, CodingWithZak, and at my school, helping them improve their understanding and learning. This experience has strengthened my communication, teaching, and mentoring skills, while enhancing my ability to explain complex concepts clearly and support others’ learning effectively.

During the British Airways Data Analyst simulation (Forage), I analysed datasets, identified trends, and interpreted insights to support data-driven decision-making. This experience developed my analytical, and data interpretation skills, while enhancing my ability to draw actionable conclusions from complex information, crucial for making informed business decisions in a fast-paced environment.
