01 | About

I'm a 22 year old Cybersecurity & Digital Forensics graduate aspiring to grow within the cybersecurity field. Currently, I'm exploring different areas of blue teaming while building my foundation in cybersecurity. Beyond technical skills, I enjoy learning through hands-on experiences, working on projects, and continuously challenging myself to improve. I'm passionate about problem solving, adapting to new technologies, and developing both my technical and interpersonal skills along the way. Oh, did I mention I love playing music?
