My Summer Internship Experience 2024 - 2025

My Summer Internship Experience 2024 - 2025

Through my cybersecurity internship, referred by Tupu Toa, I gained hands-on experience in threat detection, incident response, and security architecture. Working onsite in a dedicated operations space, I engaged with various defence tools and led daily standup meetings. While my cyber defence team worked remotely, I maximised using the boardroom to host meetings with my EonFibre and Tupu Toa groups, fostering whakawhanaungatanga, collaboration, and strategic discussions.

As part of the One New Zealand internship program, I had the opportunity to collaborate on a Strategic Project, connecting potential partners with the EonFibre Team. I also had the privilege of meeting the executive team and contributing to a One NZ promo featuring the NRL One New Zealand Warriors, ensuring that—even in spirit—my presence remains in the office.
