Summary

I have cultivated and mastered more than a few skills in my life thus far, all of them requiring focus and dedication.

I have now turned these skills to face my future in the dynamic, global environment of Cyber Security.

My thirst for knowledge in this sector will give me the desire to continue learning, update my skills, and stay informed in this fast-paced, ever-changing field.

I also have a passion for security in general and I desire to be part of the 'solution' in this now 'globalised tech environment,' as security experts are required now more than ever. To play a role in securing online environments for both businesses and individuals is inspiring to me, and a motivating endeavor.
