Career Transition

Career Break
West Haven, UT
01.2024 - Current

I am actively pursuing CompTIA Security+ certification to transition from customer service roles to a technology-focused career. To enhance my technical skills, I have upgraded PC RAM, installed and utilized a virtual machine, and completed the Security+ 701 course and labs through Andrew Ramdayal’s Udemy program. Additionally, I have reinforced my knowledge of Security+ 701 content through Professor Messer’s resources. I recently attended The Rosie Project Cohort III Program from March 2024 to August 2024, where I gained valuable career development insights and further prepared for my career transition into IT security.
