About Blessing

Hello There!!

My name is Blessing and I am an undergraduate who resides in Zimbabwe, studying towards a degree in Information Security and Assurance. I specialise in all things cyber security ranging from ethical hacking, risk management, IT auditing and a bit of digital forensics. I am enthusiastic about other fields of tech as well I even write blogs surrounding topics like native programming, AI and web development. I am incredibly enthusiastic about community building and I find great pleasure in organising diverse teams that collaborate to brainstorm solutions to every individual’s daily problems. I am also a member of the Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors community.

During my free time, I play video games (huge fan of freeworld RPG) - and sometimes I watch crime fiction series and movies.

Getting Prepared for Cyber Security Internship

Students become fairly nervous when making the big transition from school to starting work mostly because they’re unsure of what to expect. This workshop was aimed at de-mystifying these uncertainties especially for students pursuing cyber security majors. The focus was on: how to apply for internships, what to expect in technical interviews and what technologies and/or skills should one possess before starting their cyber security internship.
