I am a certified cybersecurity professional and an AWS cloud practitioner holder. 


My Major areas of interest in cybersecurity include, Cloud Security, Incidence response, GRC(Governance and Risk Compliance) and Training and Education.

If you want more on what I do, I’m happy to share 💫

As a Cybersecurity instructor, I play a crucial role in educating and training individuals in the field of cybersecurity. 

I am responsible for teaching my audience about the various aspects of cybersecurity, including the protection of computer systems, networks, and data from cyber threats. 

My role involves imparting knowledge, demonstrating practical skills, and guiding students in hands-on exercises to strengthen their understanding of cybersecurity principles and practices.

One of the primary responsibilities of a Cybersecurity instructor is to develop and deliver curriculum that covers a wide range of topics related to cybersecurity. 

This includes areas such as network security, cryptography, ethical hacking, incident response, risk management, and compliance. 

I help design lesson plans, create educational materials, and deliver engaging lectures to ensure that students grasp the fundamental concepts and techniques of cybersecurity.

I often leverage real-world scenarios and case studies to provide practical insights into the challenges faced by cybersecurity professionals. 

 Organizing hands-on exercises, simulations, and lab sessions to give students the opportunity to apply their knowledge in a controlled environment. 

By doing so, this helps students develop the necessary skills to identify vulnerabilities, mitigate risks, and respond effectively to cybersecurity incidents.

This also play a vital role in keeping up with the rapidly evolving field of cybersecurity. 

I stay updated on the latest threats, vulnerabilities, and industry best practices to ensure that the curriculum remains relevant and reflects the current state of cybersecurity. 

This involves continuous learning, attending conferences, participating in professional development programs, and engaging with industry experts.

I provide mentorship and guide to my audiences by providing individualized support, and offer guidance on career paths and certifications within the cybersecurity field. 


In Cloud Security, I posses solid foundational skills in AWS and azure services.

Apart from teaching, I also engage in research and contribute to the advancement of the field. 

Reach out to me for further discussion and collaborations.

What’s next after “I passed my AWS CCP”


As someone who’s been teaching for years, 

Here is something I wish every learner would know. 

Don’t get carried away because you passed a certification. 

That is a starting point…..

For example, 

If you aspire to be someone in Cloud DevOps, 

Sure you can start with CCP. - Foundational. 

Get locked in. 📍

Study for your Solutions Architect Associate. 

Get hands on labs as you add on skill. 

Infact, do more labs. 

You need the experience. 

With clarity and enough experience, 

Aim Higher for Professional. 

Take note, 📝 

You don’t have to wait for that big opportunity before you show up for yourself. 

Build projects and showcase them, 

Apply for the internships, 

Apply for the jobs. 

Often times, showcasing what you can do attracts the opportunity you seek. 

Don’t forget to document your journey. 

Very important. 

I’m Racheal Popoola . A Cybersecurity and Cloud Trainer.

What’s happening right now ❔ 



Would be having an online session with my mentees to review and discuss their the tasks for this week. 

Aside this, 

My first ever cybersecurity community of just Ghanaian will kickstart on Monday. 

Mostly, my community is a mixture of people from different countries which is fine. 

The new community has mostly learners who have completed tertiary. 

Some have the knowledge while’s others are still learning. 

The goal is to take everyone along. 

Watch this space for more of them. 

Resources would be shared here for others to benefit. 

More goodies for the community coming up 💯 

Don’t Snooze or You’ll lose 😉 

Wish me luck 🍀 

♻️ Share to your network. 

Someone may need to see this. 

Weekly Article coming up soon for my GRC lovers. Come with a YouTube tutorial. Stay tuned.

New Update ✨ 

The "Study hour with Racheal" newsletter would be an interesting turn in a positive way for all who want to learn about Cybersecurity,

And get some opportunities from it.

I have been working on some projects that would bring more value to the cybersecurity community.

Not only would I be sharing resources for Beginners, I am expanding it to Intermediate and Professionals in the field as well. We are going to be practicing what we learn. 

If you are curious about other cyber domains, you may want to stick around more.

As a Practitioner in the field, I know how important it is to have both Technical Skills as much as Soft Skills.

And I am here to bridge that gap whiles breaking it into simple terms for all
