Summary
I'm a hardworking honey farmer who is studying computer networking and cyber security. I'm always ready to learn and looking for new experiences. I am accustomed to long hours and problem solving. I'm a reliable worker who always wants to do more. I have committed the last two years learning the world of technology at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College while working on a farm to pay for my education. My goal is to have a bachelors in cybersecurity and be certified in both the networking and cybersecurity fields.
