Summary

I'm currently a Network Engineer & Cyber Security student at Danville Community College. I have received my Advanced Associate's degree in Network Engineering and expect to earn my Advanced Associate’s Degree in Cybersecurity by the end of the Summer semester in 2025, respectively. I'm on track to graduate Magna Cum Laude from Danville Community College, where both degrees are NSA certified. I'm also a proud member of the Danville Community College Cyber Knights club, and I had the opportunity to compete with my teammates at the CTF cyber competition at Virginia Military Institute in February 2024.
