Why cybersecurity?
The reason I’m here today is because I’ve had a lifelong passion for technology. For example, growing up, I was always the one with a home computer where I started learning about troubleshooting and problem-solving. It began by helping my parents and others with their computers, and over time, I developed a keen interest in technology—constantly updating myself with the latest advancements.
This curiosity has stayed with me and continues to drive my interest in technology today. Alongside my technical background, which I’ll elaborate on, I also have experience in social work, and through that, I’ve developed a strong desire to make a positive difference. This drive to help others has always been a motivating factor for me.
A few years ago, my interest in cybersecurity started to grow, and it felt like the perfect combination of making a difference while applying my technical skills. It felt like the right moment to turn this passion into a professional opportunity. I took the leap and decided to enroll in school, and since then, I’ve only felt more confident in my decision.
