Guide and support my team participating in the CyberPatriot National Youth Cyber Education Program. As a mentor, I played a crucial role in educating students about cybersecurity principles, safe online behaviors, and the technical skills required to defend computer systems and networks against cyber threats. By providing hands-on training, sharing real-world experiences, and fostering problem-solving skills, I aided my students in gaining confidence and expertise in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. In the years I had to do this, I also had to create a lot of training material, such as custom VMs, pre-configured laptops, and training exercises not dissimilar to TryHackMe and HackTheBox in order to prepare the high school students for competition.
