Cybersecurity Student | CompTIA Security + | Passionate about Digital Safety, Data Privacy & Sociotechnical Theory
My name is Joelle Waugh a Cybersecurity Student with a CompTIA Security+ Certificate. I am pursing a Computer Security and Investigations Diploma at Fleming College and currently looking for Co-op/Internships opportunities. I am passionate about making technology and physical spaces safer and accessible for everyone, especially with emerging Artifical Intelligence (AI) technologies.
Studying cybersecurity has allowed me to explore my passion for understanding how technology has influenced society transnationally and globally through social engineering and much more. Technology is advancing societies and creating new societal challenges that require innovative cybersecurity solutions adaptable to ever-changing technologies.
I love to learn, solve problems, and take on new challenges. I am inquisitive, adaptable, conscientious, empathetic, a critical thinker, collaborative, detail-oriented, and resilient. I value hard work, integrity, communication, strong leadership, problem-solving, teamwork, skill development, empathy, and accountability.
As a student, I am currently looking for Co-op or Internships oppotunities to practice and develop my cybersecurity skills. I am interested in all things Cybersecurity such as AI in Cybersecurity, Privacy and Compliance, SOC Analyst, Penetration Testing, Cybersecurity Awareness, Cybersecurity Consultant, Security Risk and Compliance, Security Operation, Malware analyst and Netowrk Security, just to name a few.
I believe cybersecurity is essential to our collective experience with technology and the online world. The internet has made our globalized world more transnational with more access comes significant security needs, as more threat actors exist.
Cyber Security has become the backbone of companies’, organizations’, and governments' success in protecting personal data transnationally. The Internet has created a world where people no longer need a passport to access content, data, or each other, making us more connected than ever before, consequently, making us vulnerable. Cyber Security is not only a technical role but also involves solving physical and social security problems. Overall, cyber security is the glue that maintains the social contract of privacy and integrity. Cyber Security protects data, empowers people, and creates a safer online world.
