Who I Am

I work at the intersection of technology, security, and community. My background spans physical security, IT support, data analytics, and education, and I am now focused on bringing all of that into a career in cybersecurity.

I founded Kulan Institute of Learning to make tech education accessible to Somali-speaking communities in English and Somali. That mission shapes everything I do professionally.

Currently pursuing CompTIA Security+ and completing hands on training through TryHackMe. Open to SOC Analyst, IT Security Analyst, and Cybersecurity Analyst roles in Columbus, OH.
