In 2022, my journey took me to Canada.
I had already experienced the responsibility of managing technology in a professional environment.
Now I wanted to deepen my understanding of how systems are attacked, defended and investigated.
I studied Cyber Security and Computer Forensics at Lambton College in Canada. Tribhuvan University awarded equivalency to a Master’s in Cyber Security & Computer Forensics.
The subjects encouraged me to look at technology from a different perspective.
Not simply how to build a network.
But how to secure it.
Not simply how information is stored.
But how digital evidence can reveal what happened.
Not simply how a vulnerability exists.
But how it can be discovered, assessed and addressed.
Ethical hacking, network security testing, computer forensics and security governance became part of this new chapter.
I completed academic investigations, risk assessment work, network monitoring studies and a work-integrated learning project.
Those experiences expanded my technical foundation and strengthened my interest in evidence-based problem-solving.
My academic record included three terms of Dean's Honour List recognition.
But the lasting value of that period was not limited to a transcript.
It was the way cybersecurity changed my questions.
I arrived wanting to understand how to secure systems. I became increasingly interested in how to understand what happens when they are compromised.
