About me:
Currently a Cyber Research Analyst at CyNam, I’ve paved my originally uncertain path to where I am today with the support from Taylor and Emilia. After my A-Levels, I took a gap year in which I began at CyNam to work on their latest project, as well as assist on their headline events organization and marketing pieces. The Cyberfirst scheme and my contacts at CyNam nudged me towards this dedication to cyber, however so much more can be done on this front for students alike. Delving into the apprenticeship route in the future, support is so limited for people wishing to take some pathways and stereotypes for what sort of person you have to be to work in cyber.
Cyber is inclusive to all; learning the abilities you can master in multiple avenues there is certainly something for everyone. From my experience thus far, Hub8 and CyNam are pushing their outreach to new heights by the day and Project Pioneers will simply enhance this even further, giving an honest and inspiring outtake for the network we’re building on. I’m pursuing my own journey to build my career in the sector as well as my professional hobby as an event rider, showing that you really can gauge a balance with the best of both worlds. Obviously, this wouldn’t be possible without extensive passion for both and the sacrifice to put my all into it; my day-to-day life with my CyNam head on to training with some of the best equine athletes in the UK. I believe that my confidence has grown massively because of these, pushing myself to achieve outside my comfort zone and surrounding myself with people alike. Now’s the time, how about pioneering your future vision with us?
