I have no idea how I got here. I have always been a fast learner and able to pick up skills. In middle and high school, I developed a knack for picking up languages. I decided I wanted to become a technical translator and realized I would need to find an area to specialize in. As such, the summer before my senior year I took two classes at my local community college: Intro to Programming and International Business. In the programming class, I fell down a rabbit hole from which I will never escape. I took to computers and soon thereafter, cybersecurity.Since then, I have only improved my programming ability, by learning languages like Python and Java. Diving into cybersecurity, I have learned Kali Linux and begun exploiting systems. Despite this wonderful realm of technology, business was still calling me. Due to this, I have also studied the ways of business—of managing and of making money. My goal is to break into Penetration Testing and secure systems before harm can be done. I want to help make people safer while adapting to the ever-changing world of security. I hope to land a job where I will make myself an invaluable asset and always be ready for something new. In my free time, I enjoy some Dungeons and Dragons, allowing me to let my imagination run free and to build bonds with my group. I like making coffee 800 different ways, innovating, and attending to details. I absolutely love re-watching Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, or Harry Potter for the 20th time, and other general Nerdery. I also enjoy blacksmithing, fencing, a good cup of tea, and spending time with my cat.
