About Me

I'm Kalani, a dedicated and detail-oriented cybersecurity enthusiast pursuing an associate degree in digital forensics. I'm a member of several cybersecurity-related clubs including the Cybersecurity Club, Cloud Computing Club, Networking Concepts Club, and the National Cyber League. I recently earned my CompTIA Tech+ certification and am studying for my Network+, A+, and Security+ certifications.

My journey into this career began in 2023, fueled by curiosity and a passion for protecting digital landscapes. Since then, I've been actively involved in hands-on labs and projects that showcase my skills in vulnerability scanning, networking, and basic security principles.

When I'm not studying or participating in capture-the-flag competitions, I'm expanding my knowledge and staying up to date on the latest cybersecurity news and tools.
