Upon graduation, my professional goal is to begin a career in cybersecurity in a role focused on penetration testing or security analysis. I want to apply the technical skills I have developed in areas such as networking, Linux administration, vulnerability assessment, and threat analysis in a real-world environment. In the short term, I plan to strengthen my practical experience through hands-on labs, entry-level security roles, and industry certifications that align with offensive and defensive security work.

As I gain experience, my long-term goal is to become a highly skilled security professional who helps organizations proactively identify and mitigate risks before they lead to serious breaches. I am particularly interested in understanding how emerging technologies like artificial intelligence affect both attacks and defenses. Ultimately, I want to build a career centered on protecting critical systems, supporting informed decision-making, and upholding strong ethical standards within the cybersecurity profession.
