About me
Throughout my life, technology has been a safe yet exciting field of interest for me. From the time I was eight years old, I was able to understand and apply the basics of common programming languages, such as JavaScript and HTML. I am passionate about expanding the technological landscape of Australia, and furthering its usefulness across the nation. I am determined to create my own company that provides cyber security resources to Australian people, to enable them to be conscious of their technological footprint and to educate them on cyber safety; especially for elderly people and people living in regional areas, who often face the most disadvantage in this area.
Outside of technology, I enjoy nit-picking film and TV shows and assisting others in their educational pursuits.
"I am looking forward to learning from past Westpac Scholars, industry leaders and experts, as I am always looking to learn, especially under such highly-regarded individuals."
