Origin Story
๐ Excited to share my journey with you all as I dive into the world of cybersecurity and project management! ๐
Starting with a bachelor's in computer science, I've always been passionate about technology. Now, pursuing a master's in cybersecurity and project management, the journey has been both challenging and immensely fulfilling. Scheduled to finish the masters program much later this year, the two-year ride so far has been a rollercoaster of learning experiences.
In February 2023, I started the masters program with the cybersecurity modules, relishing every moment of the intricate challenges they posed. Fast forward to January 2024, and I embarked on the project management modules, adding another layer to my skill set.
While it would have been logical to pursue certifications alongside my cybersecurity studies, financial constraints meant I had to prioritize. But now, with time and resources on my side, I've decided to take on the CompTIA Security+ and Google Cybersecurity certificates concurrently. Yes, it's a daunting task, requiring nearly five hours of daily study for the next two months. But hey, where's the fun without a challenge, right?
Some experts might advise against tackling both certifications simultaneously, but why settle for one when you can have both? Plus, completing the Google Cybersecurity certificate entitles me to a 30% discount on the CompTIA Security+ exam voucher, along with support packages. Talk about a win-win! ๐
Balancing preparations for these certifications alongside my project management modules will undoubtedly test my time management skills. However, I'm ready to take it on with full gusto. ๐ช๐ฝ
Recently, I crafted a comprehensive plan on reducing CO2 emissions for a hypothetical computer company, shifting its energy source to renewables. Drop a comment if you'd like to see the plan! ๐ฑ
With a 5000-word report looming on the horizon and weekly updates to share, the journey ahead promises to be both exhilarating and demanding. But hey, no pain, no gain, right?
Stay tuned for more updates on my progress as I embark on the Google Cybersecurity certificate journey, followed by the CompTIA Security+ certification. Remember, practice makes mastery, and I'm all in for the challenge!
Until next time, folks! ๐ป๐ #Cybersecurity #ProjectManagement #LearningJourney
