Darnell Baldwin

My name is Darnell Baldwin. I am double majoring in Cybersecurity and Criminal Justice at the University of Cincinnati, set to graduate from both programs in 2028.
I am committed to continuous learning and development of my skills in both the Criminal Justice and Cybersecurity field as well as in related fields of interest. I am dedicated to my goals and can adapt well to rigorous academic and work environments. I also have strong communication skills. By pairing these two degrees with each other, I am able to have a better understanding of law and understanding how advances in cyber threat capabilities can effect our critical infrastructure, which in return can negatively effect society. This certain concept can be applied to other areas of focus, such as the advancement of concepts of a Metaverse and how we have to continue to monitor its progression.
