Mentorship for Students & Juniors.

Real-world guidance for the next generation of cybersecurity pros.

Why Mentorship Matters

Getting started in cybersecurity can be overwhelming. There's no shortage of content, but what’s missing is direction. Courses can teach concepts—but mentorship brings clarity, focus, and confidence.

If you're a student or just starting your journey, I’m here to help you build skills, shape your goals, and find your way into the field—with practical guidance and no gatekeeping.

Who This Is For

  • Students studying computer science, cybersecurity, or IT
  • Career switchers exploring security for the first time
  • Early professionals looking to grow and specialize
  • Self-taught learners trying to validate their path

If you’re curious, motivated, and willing to learn—you’re in the right place.

What You’ll Get

Guided Learning Paths

Whether you're into pen testing, cloud security, governance, or just figuring things out—I’ll help you structure your learning with real-world context.

Hands-On Practice Advice

I’ll help you find the best tools, labs, and exercises to apply what you’re learning—and avoid wasting time on fluff.

Resume & Portfolio Feedback

We’ll review your resume and projects together, so you can confidently apply for internships, jobs, or competitions.

AMA Sessions

Ask me anything—whether it’s about certs, interviews, ethical hacking, or career decisions. I’ll share the kind of advice I wish I had early on.

How It Works

  1. Intro Call – We get to know each other, your goals, and where you're at
  2. Customized Plan – I’ll suggest a few paths or options to explore
  3. Ongoing Mentorship – You choose how often we check in: one-time, weekly, or monthly
  4. You grow. I cheer you on.

The Goal

This isn’t a bootcamp. It’s not a classroom. It’s personal mentorship—focused on you, not a generic syllabus.

My job is to help you become confident, capable, and job-ready—not to impress you with jargon.

Ready to Start?

If you’re even considering reaching out, do so.

There’s no cost for an intro call, and no pressure to commit. Have questions before applying? Contact me anytime
