Summary
During high school, I wasn’t sure what career path I wanted to follow. However, once I got to college, I developed a strong desire to help others and quickly became fascinated with technology and how fast it’s shaping the world around us. I’m currently pursuing a degree in Business with a concentration in Cybersecurity at Truett McConnell University, where I’m also a student-athlete on the Track & Field team.
Outside of school, I spend my summers working with my brother at his diesel mechanic shop, where I’ve gained valuable hands-on experience and learned the importance of hard work and problem-solving. Last summer, I completed the Google Cybersecurity Certificate, and I’m now working toward earning my CompTIA Security+ certification.
In my free time, I enjoy working on personal cybersecurity projects using Python. I've built tools like a password generator and a simple web scanner, which I’ve shared on GitHub to document my growth and connect with others in the field.
I’m passionate about learning, driven to grow, and excited to use my skills to make a positive impact in the world of cybersecurity.
