I have always been fascinated by technology – from learning more about how computers work to how technology will continue to evolve. After serving in the Army National Guard as a Calvary Scout, I learned that information is everything and needs to be kept secure. My interest in uncovering how technology works and in data security is what led me to the ITWorks program. By the end of this program, I hope to have an even better understanding of technology and plan to obtain my CompTIA A+ and Cisco IT Essentials certifications to begin my career in IT. After that, I plan to obtain a CompTIA Server + and the CompTIA Security+. I want to pursue a career in data storage and information security.
