About me

I am in pursuit of global digital security. I followed a keen interest in computers throughout high school, which has culminated in a desire to drive change. Through my studies at QUT and the opportunities provided by the W100 network, I hope to contribute to Australia’s ever‑expanding need for online security. I was hooked on the idea of becoming a programmer, but what has kept me engaged are the big problems that require even bigger answers. Cybersecurity provides those problems, and I soon wish to be leading the solutions that will help make Australia digitally safer for everyone. Aside from my technological aspirations, I have been privileged to serve the communities that helped foster my growth as a leader. Through both school leadership and community service, the connections I made and the people I impacted taught me that I could make a difference. In my free time, I enjoy staying active at the gym and through running.
From my studies in cybersecurity, I hope to contribute to Australia’s need for a more secure digital landscape. I’m excited to connect with other scholars and mentors who can help me see my goals become reality.
