From fixing the family computer as a kid to building a career in tech 💻✨ Pamela’s journey shows what’s possible when passion meets opportunity. With NetAcad, she didn’t just change careers—she built the future she always imagined.

Good morning Dr. Ireti... Over the last 12 months, I stopped treating cybersecurity as something to study and started treating it as something to practice. I moved from just understanding the basic concepts to analyzing real network traffic, breaking down protocols, and identifying suspicious patterns across different network protocols. I've completed the Junior Cybersecurity Analyst track on Netacad, completed some rooms in TryHackMe, and built well documented hands-on labs around what I have studied so far. Still early in the journey, but now I learn by practicing, and not just reading. I am coachable, collaborative, and fully committed to growing my skill. I believe through your mentorship, I will gain structured guidance to build on the foundational knowledge I’ve been deliberately working on.

Good afternoon Dr @ireteeh My name is Esther, a recent Mathematics graduate who somehow ended up in cybersecurity and hasn’t looked back since. I’m 8 months into my cybersecurity journey. I started with Cisco NetAcad and have built my skills through hands-on labs using Snort,

Good Afternoon Ma, It all started in September 2025 with foundational training, took some rooms on Tryhackme and Cisco netacad. Currently taking a course in GRC. Passed my ISC2 CC exam and I just started an internship program. Below is an image of a project have worked on.

Good morning @ireteeh I started my Cybersecurity journey in February 2026. So far, I have completed, Intro to Cybersecurity and Basics of Networking in Netacad. As an early childhood educator, I have developed a great communication skill,can work well in teams and open to learn

I am honored to apply for your 2026 Cybersecurity Mentorship. I began my journey in March 2025 through the Axia Africa scholarship, where I excelled as group leader for a Splunk SOC project. I completed multiple Cisco NetAcad courses (Cybersecurity, Networking, Junior Analyst)

Good morning @ireteeh I am a passionate cyber enthusiast, the past 10 months I have been actively gaining insight on hands on practice, and problem solving skills, I have TS Academy complete program and Netacad cyber security courses to my credit, where I have valuable insights.

Good morning, Dr. Ireti. I began my cybersecurity journey in May 2026 and am currently studying networking through Summer of CCNA and Linux Essentials on NetAcad. I'm passionate about cybersecurity, eager to learn, teachable, and committed to consistent growth.

And since then I’ve been self learning like crazy Linux basics, Netacad courses like into to cs, networking basics, networking devices and initial configuration, splunk cs defense analyst, intro to packet tracer. I’m currently prepping for isc2 exam in two weeks I know….

Over the last 12 months, I enrolled in a cybersecurity bootcamp with TechCrush to brush up my foundational knowledge of what I have learned with the Tech4Dev cybersecurity bootcamp and also finished the Cisco NetAcad cybersecurity. Currently I am rounding up my 100 Days of Cybersecurity challenge and currently preparing for my (ISC)² CC exam. Being someone without a degree in anything related to cybersecurity or computer science but with a degree in agriculture, I am intentional about breaking into the cyber world, and to make it possible, as I can't journey alone, I joined the Guardian of the Cyber Realm community to connect with like minds that will be able to guide me through. I got a laptop when I started documenting my learning on X through an anonymous account, and I will be glad if I'm given the opportunity to drink from your source of knowledge, Ma. Thank you, ma'am.

Good morning @ireteeh, my name is Benita a recent computer science graduate and my cybersecurity journey started around November last year. I got into an accident which takes time to recover from but I didn’t choose to feel sorry for myself or let the time pass me by because I am someone who likes being productive I decided to go into what I always wanted to do which is cybersecurity. I started off with Cisco netacad, took the networking basics and configuration courses with my phone because my laptop was bad at the time. Once I got a new laptop I knew that the best way to grow and be accountable was to join a community (tsacademy) were I have learnt a lot, not just about cybersecurity but about working with others and learning from them. I also noticed that some of my tutors are also your mentees and they represent you really well. Back in school I had the opportunity to work in teams were I was either the team leader or a member who was a very good team player. What I will bring to this program is consistency, willingness to learn and curiosity. I am excited to discuss more on this. Thank you for the opportunity.

I just finished the ISC2 course content, would be writing the exams Btwn now and Oct, I am also taking the the Cisco Netacad: Intro to splunk of which I’m halfway through and hopefully would be done before this month’s end.
