Motivation for Computer Science degree

Motivation for Game development:

  • 15 years of passionate gaming across a variety of different games like FPS, open world, RPG, MMO, looter Shooter, Survival, Horror, Fighting, and Strategy games.
  • 15 Years of binge watching different movies and shows taking interest in the lore and attention to story detail. Knowledgeable about lore and stories of major franchises like Marvel, DC, Anime, Star wars, The boys, Invincible, and many more
  • I have created my own story and gameplay ideas for how I would wanna create a game someday so it would be a dream to bring those ideas to life
  • I have spent time on social media learning about the big gaming companies like Sony, Microsoft, Bethesda, Rockstar games, and many more. to work for one of these companies that brought me so much joy as a gamer would feel like a life accomplishment.

Motivation for Cybersecurity:

  • I grew up always seeing stories and coverage over hackers and cyber scams and I have been a victim of some myself. I wanted to understand more about cyberspace to be able to learn how to defend against cyber criminals and learn more about the technology that we use everyday.
  • I am currently pursuing a career in Security forces in the U.S Airforce and I love my job as a Police Defender. But due to me being in school for a computer science degree I determined it would be more beneficial to my career and degree to work in cybersecurity instead of Security forces. That way I can focus on one path instead of trying to balance 2 different careers.
