As someone with a lot of determination and focus, I have been able to develop some key personal and technical skills. Having received many awards and certificates as recognition for my academic success and growth as an individual, I have gained a lot of confidence in myself and remain highly motivated. I was awarded a bachelor of engineering degree in computer science with first class honours at the end of my three years of university studies, which I consider to be my highest accolade yet. My personal skills such as customer service, teamwork and strong communication come from effectively balancing my student studies with a part-time job in a retail environment. As a result, working independently or as part of a team is no challenge for me. My technical skills showcase my proficiency with IT and cyber security, having concentrated on relevant subject areas closely at a higher educational level. My interests in web/software development and digital security drive me to constantly expand my knowledge and develop new abilities, allowing me to appreciate the effectiveness and convenience of familiarising myself with various tools and/or fundamentals whenever they have come in handy in the past.
