About Me
Currently a first-year International Business Administration student at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, blending business strategy with a deep passion for cybersecurity and technology.
My journey into cybersecurity began at age 13 when I developed a phishing website for a school project — sparking a drive for ethical hacking and digital security that has defined my path since.
Since then I've competed in CTF tournaments and trained on Hack The Box, TryHackMe, and OverTheWire, building strong skills in penetration testing, digital forensics, and malware analysis.
Beyond tech, I led the 3D Printing Club, coached four FLL robotics teams, and captained my school's volleyball team. I'm trilingual, have visited 21+ countries, and play piano, guitar, saxophone, and cello.
Goal: Found a cybersecurity company that protects businesses from the next generation of cyber threats.
