I have spent my entire adult life building up to be a cyber security specialist and never knew it. As a 20 year veteran of the United States Army I have honed my skills as a leader and a follower, I have the people skills to deal with difficult customers and technical skills that many people have never had the chance to experience. I have dealt with fixing and problem shooting medical equipment thousands of miles away from routine service. I have taken on rolls to ensure that our digital equipment were kept serviceable and functioning. I was always the person sought out when a problem required thinking outside of the box.Now that I realized I am on a trajectory to be a cyber security personnel, I have added to my substantial base with formalized training. I am currently pursuing a career studies certificate in cyber security and networking, which will be completed in Dec 2022. I am also preparing for CompTIA A+ by Dec 2022.
