Summary

As a dedicated and driven post-graduate student in Cybersecurity, I have relocated to Barcelona to begin my ongoing professional journey as a Cybersecurity SOC Analyst (L1). Over the past year, I have gained hands-on experience in the industry, honing my skills in the threat detection, incident response, and security monitoring. My goal is to continually build on my knowledge and technical expertise, with a clear focus on advancing to L2 and L3 roles. I am committed to developing a solid foundation in cybersecurity, ensuring I can contribute effectively while striving for professional growth and technical excellence. I can adapt to situations very well, which is demonstrated by me previously living in three different countries and my working experience – I learnt to adapt to the culture and environment in each. After working closely with colleagues and cross-functional teams throughout my work career, I have further developed my skills and proactively approach too problem-solving within my cybersecurity employment.
