High School Journey and Achievements

I am a passionate and resilient computer science student at the University of Wollongong, whose journey has been shaped by unexpected challenges and unwavering determination. Originally dreaming of studying astronomy in the US, financial constraints led me to pursue computer science-a field where I discovered a deep passion, especially in cybersecurity. Balancing rigorous studies with minimum wage work, I have faced significant obstacles but remained committed to my education and personal growth. Beyond academics, I actively engage in community service through volunteering with TechTutors, empowering seniors with digital skills, and supporting fellow students via Unibuddy. As Vice President of the DICE club and a member of multiple campus organizations, I strive to connect students with opportunities and foster a supportive environment. My goal is to advance in cybersecurity research and use my skills to make a positive impact on society, while inspiring others facing similar challenges.
