Summary
Early-career cyber practitioner building skills primarily through university coursework and hands-on labs. I have foundational, surface-level knowledge across security testing, incident triage, forensics, cloud hardening and DevOps, and I'm transparent that I'm seeking my first professional cyber placement. I learn fast, follow SOPs, ask for help early, and communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders. My goal is to contribute reliably on entry-level tasks while developing professional-grade practice under mentorship and guidance.
