Cyber Security Analyst

The underlying memory is the joy I had whilst I was studying at Greenwich with my friends. Thank you to the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ for giving me great friends and for paving the many stepping stones for me to reach my goals.

Memories of Greenwich

I studied for my BSc and MSc thanks to the Fast-Forward Scholarship Scheme provided by ³Ù³ó±ð University.

As a student, I decided to take as many opportunities as I could and work hard to craft a powerful CV for when I graduated. I was Head of HR for Enactus Greenwich, Social Secretary for KSoc and I participated in a number of student competitions, including Generator’s Enterprise Challenge. I was awarded a First Class Honours for my BSc Computing and a Distinction for my Masters in Computer Forensics and Cyber Security. I also found roles as a Student Clearing & Recruitment Assistant and IT Support Technician really fulfilling.

I remember during my undergraduate degree experiencing the snow at Cutty Sark, it was amazingly beautiful. My friends and I went to Greenwich park to snow sled down the hills, truly memorable and so much fun. I also enjoyed the old SU building (now the Cooper Powerhouse) and loved playing pool there between lectures.

Life after Greenwich

I have been working for 6 months since I graduated at BDO as a Cyber Security Analyst.

Its a dream come true to be working there in a field that I am very passionate about. I am currently studying for industry-level certifications; SSCP and CompTIA Security+ and I am also currently co-authoring a 12-week Apprenticeship Programme with a well-known US educational institute to provide recent graduates with industry/practical experience. I am volunteering 4 hours a week to support The Cyber Helpline, supporting individuals with security issues that they are facing.
