Summary

I am aiming to build a career in compliance one day, particularly in the area of data protection, where I can apply both my security knowledge and growing technical skills. My internship with the Ghana Police Service provided me with hands-on experience in public safety, giving me valuable insights into law enforcement operations. As part of my studies, I researched on CCTV surveillance and privacy laws in Germany and the UK, and have a good understanding of EU laws and treaties. I also bring strong skills in risk assessment, crisis management, asset protection, and loss prevention. Alongside my academic and practical experience, I have been strengthening my technical skills by learning SQL and Linux tools, helping me better understand the systems and data behind modern security work. I am driven to contribute to safety and security solutions in culturally diverse, international environments. I believe that meaningful progress in global security comes from understanding different perspectives and working across borders with collaboration and respect.
