Throughout my Cybersecurity journey I have been able to proactively build my critical thinking skills. In efforts to achieving a Bachelor of Science degree, Old Dominion emphasizes the need to develop critical thinking skills and problem-solving abilities making these skills inclusive for all individuals.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/ahmedkar1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35723\/2026\/09\/270-Final-Paper.pdf\">270 Final Paper<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is a Cybersecurity paper I wrote about email scrapping. This paper required me to think critically and implement efficient ways to solve a Cybersecurity issue at hand.<\/p>\n<p>Interpersonal Skills<\/p>\n<p>Throughout my time at Old Dominion, I have taken a couple of courses related to building my interpersonal skills. To best practice I have also been actively involved in the campus community in efforts of implementing these skills. My strongest interpersonal skill is active listening, I have learned to becoming an active listener by paying close attention to the speaker, studying body movements, and simply asking questions.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_424\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-424\" style=\"width: 1320px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/ahmedkar1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35723\/2026\/09\/IMG_1851.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-424\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/ahmedkar1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35723\/2026\/09\/IMG_1851.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1320\" height=\"1731\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-424\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image that tells a story&#8230; This image is from the ODU club, Developing Men of Color, this club aims to empower the men of color at ODU and brings the community together.\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technical Skills Python is a commonly used programming language that I consistently practiced with and have become comfortable with.
