An eager Information Technology Cybersecurity student

Greetings! From the vibrant landscapes of Ethiopia, comes a spirited individual with a love for all things Information Technology. However, if IT were not my calling you'd likely find me at a local coffee shop as interactions with people and coffee are also my favorite things on this planet. As an IT major with a specialization in Cybersecurity, I thrive on the intricacies of risk prevention, management, and remediation. I would love to a contribute to a team working within Governance, Risk and Compliance. I enjoy combining my experience with software development and knowledge of cybersecurity to design applications that can assess vulnerabilities to identify potential threats before they arise. Beyond the realm of technology, I am a believer in Jesus Christ who has blessed me with this passion for technology. I relish the many opportunities I get as a follower of Christ in which I am engaging in meaningful conversations with people amongst diverse backgrounds. I firmly believe that surrounding yourself in a community of mentorship is the biggest benefit a man could have. The great C.S. Lewis said: "You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending." With this mantra at heart, I eagerly embrace each new chapter, knowing that it is never too late to make a positive impact.
