Mason Stern Email & Phone Number

The day has finally come!After graduating High School 2 semesters early at the age of 16, I was convinced that I would be a chef. Years of hard work in hot and steamy conditions left me feeling satisfied, but there was something inside me that was looking for more.Once Covid hit, I decided to search for a career that would be a little more "Recession-proof". That is when I applied for a position at a new MMJ Dispensary in my town. I quickly proved myself as one of the most capable employees. After a couple of months, I was promoted from "Wellness Associate" to "Floor Supervisor". I found myself taking on a more Tech-heavy role in the Vault.Surrounded by tens of thousands of individually serialized items, I felt excitement every day. Learning more and more about ERP Software, Troubleshooting, Inventory Management, and discrepancy reconciliation. As I dove deeper and deeper into the Tech side of the company, I started to develop a serious interest in Cybersecurity as I saw how important it truly is. If there is something I want, I work hard to get it. Shortly after developing this passion, I started researching programs I could take in order to make my vision a reality. I ultimately decided upon the Springboard Cybersecurity Career Track Program, which I am studying in now.I am a very quick learner. Once I set my mind to something, there is not much that can be done to dissuade me. When I was growing up, people in the restaurant business constantly told me "Don't become a chef, don't work in restaurants". I took that as a challenge -- and working in the restaurant industry has led me to meet some of the most amazing people I know. I am sure that the Tech field has a land of opportunity for those who are willing to seize it. And seize it I will.
