Summary
As a student who has studied both Japanese and Cybersecurity for 2 years, I have learned how to program and create security protocols that connect to the society and culture it was designed. Living in Japan, I learned to adapt to different environments, be flexible, and build relationships with individuals from different walks of life. I sharpen my language and cyber skills through online resources such as WaniKani.
