  Hampshire FA

  Feb 2017 - now

  Sports Referee

  Currently, I am a level 7 referee under Hampshire FA. I have been interested in football since I can remember, playing at a high level for the majority of my life. Transitioning from playing to officiating was an eye opener and has helped me improve multiple valuable skills: Decision making - the ability to make quick, assertive decisions to the best of my ability.Communication - being able to communicate to the players and coaching staff the reasons for my decisions.Handling difficult and pressured situations - the ability to be in a high-pressure situation and continue to perform at a high level without letting the moment get to me.Leadership - being able to solely officiate the game and lead by example to gain the respect of players and managers.I am hoping to progress my refereeing to a higher level within the next few year and work on improving my skills further.

  KHIPU Networks

  Cyber Security Services Engineer

  I have been working with KHIPU Networks since October 2019, first starting off as an apprentice before fully incorporating my role of a Cyber Security Services Engineer. My role currently involves professionally providing services such as simulated phishing and awareness training managed services, and vulnerability assessment scanning services. Understanding a companies goal and helping them through the process of achieving those goal are what I love about Cyber Security and is something I wish to continuing with throughout my career. I have recently completed the relevant course to become both a Cyber Essentials and Cyber Assurance assessor. I am excited to start this new journey, and am hoping that this will enable me to gain experience and lead me onto achieving my goal of becoming a Cyber Security Consultant. Show less
