As a senior at Purdue University, I'm driven to pursue a legal career focused on protecting individual privacy rights in the increasingly digital age and addressing the ethical challenges posed by emerging threats.My academic background in Cybersecurity and forensics has equipped me with a deep understanding of the complexities of data privacy and digital security threats. Through my involvement in the Purdue Rising Professionals, I've developed a passion for developing leadership skills and fostering collaborative problem-solving, including the protection of individual rights in the digital realm.My internship at Subaru of Indiana Automotive throughout the summer solidified my commitment to corporate data responsibility, where I gained invaluable experience in implementing and maintaining data protection protocols in a large-scale manufacturing environment. This role exposed me to the intricacies of real-time cybersecurity operations, allowing me to contribute to threat detection and incident response processes. I also had the opportunity to participate in strategic discussions with leadership, providing insights on emerging security technologies and their potential impact on corporate privacy policies. The value I brought to the team during this period led to an offer to continue my work part-time throughout my senior year, allowing me to further deepen my practical experience while completing my studies. This ongoing engagement has not only enhanced my technical skills but also deepened my understanding of how legal frameworks intersect with practical cybersecurity measures in a corporate setting.Upon graduation, I aspire to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree with a specialization in digital forensics. I'm eager to leverage my academic knowledge, practical skills, and dedication to ethical technology practices to protect individuals' privacy rights in the face of emerging technological challenges.
