University

I achieved a 2:1 in my Undergraduate degree studying Criminology and Criminal Justice with Psychology. Currently, I am studying for my postgraduate degree in Cyber Crime and Terrorism at Swansea University. It focuses on the effects that cyber has had on day-to-day life, including the promotion of extremist content on the internet or malware attacks like the recent M&S one.

Employed

I started by researching all the different ways of getting into the industry. I had to do a series of maths and cognitive tests, and an interview to be accepted onto the course. My training involved time flying in and around Florida. I loved it!

University

Studying at Oxford has been the best experience. Oxford is not what I expected, it’s so much better. I’m heading to Munich for a week, supported by my college’s academic travel grant, to conduct research for my dissertation (post-war German memory). I feel incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to travel for research.
