What I'm looking for
I am a prospective student with a strong passion for cybersecurity, eager to expand my knowledge and skills in this dynamic field.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have gained valuable experience through various roles, including serving as a Head Referee for Loudoun Soccer and working as a cashier at Harris Teeter. These positions have honed my customer service skills and taught me the importance of teamwork and communication.
