Work I'm Interested In

Networking - One of the reasons I returned to college was to have the qualifications necessary to apply for roles in the networking sector. This is still an area I would love to enter, and my high grades in modules related to this sector show my interest and application to that line of work.

Cybersecurity - Another area I would love to learn more about is cyber security, and I have carried out 2 individual year long college projects invesigating this field.

Hobbies/Interests

With a full time job, part time course, and a 2 year old, hobbies and interests of my own have dwindled. My child is now priority and keeping her smiling is my greatest past time. When I do get an hour to myself, it's usually spent in a book or video game.

I also enjoy travelling and like to get away someplace in the world as often as possible. My favorite destinations include Lake Garda, New York, and a year couldn't go by without a trip to Disneyland.
