I completed the Computer Systems Technician – Networking program at Algonquin College—widely regarded as one of the school’s flagship offerings in technology.

Throughout the program, I developed both technical and analytical skills, with a strong focus on networking, systems administration, and IT infrastructure—all of which laid the groundwork for my growing interest in cybersecurity. The hands-on labs and real-world scenarios helped me build confidence in troubleshooting, securing, and maintaining various environments.

I graduated with Dean’s Honour List distinction (Cumulative GPA: 3.83) and continue to build on that foundation through self-study and lab work in my spare time.
