My story
My interest in cybersecurity was sparked in high school when I downloaded a program and installed it on my computer. This caused my machine to become infected with the virus, which I had to resolve. The lesson I learned from this experience is how to prevent this from happening again and protect my device. I am fascinated by the evolving nature of cybersecurity and am excited to be part of a field that is continually at the forefront of technological advancements and innovation. In addition to my love of the challenges associated with the Cyber Industry, I am also attracted to the idea of contributing to a safer digital environment through the application of my skills and knowledge.
