Did you enjoy your time at University?
University isn't quite like the movies, it's so much better! There is an endless number of opportunities for placements, there is always going to be a club/society that piques your interest, a place to meet like-minded people who share your passion.

What have you been up to since completing your studies at college?
I studied a degree in Cybersecurity and Forensic Computing at the University of Plymouth. My course covered a large range of topics ranging from the fundamentals of computing to more specialised subjects like digital forensics and ethical hacking. I honestly couldn't choose a favourite subject area; each new topic shows a new breadth and depth to computing that I never knew existed. I hope to pursue a career in cybersecurity, I want to work alongside the government to create a safer online community.
