Here, you’ll find a constantly updated resume, details on the projects I’m focused on, the certifications I’m actively pursuing (including my current focus of working on my GCIH certification), and a blog where I delve into topics related to my interests and experiences in learning more about cybersecurity! Welcome to my corner of the internet – I’m glad you’re here!

To Answer Your First Question; Why Cybersecurity?

My journey is marked by a unique blend of experience in advertising and nursing complemented by an expanding passion for cybersecurity. This intersection of skills provides me with a distinct understanding of the dynamic interplay between technology and effective communication in our digital era. My interest in cybersecurity is deeply rooted in a desire to make a meaningful impact. I am driven by the goal of helping individuals and organizations secure their data, ensuring their privacy and safety in an increasingly interconnected world. This commitment is further fueled by my fascination with the ever-evolving digital and technological landscape. As I continue to work through my SANS courses and respective GIAC certifications, I am dedicated to staying at the forefront of cybersecurity trends and innovations, eager to continue to contribute to this vital and dynamic field.

When I am not working, I enjoy a variety of hobbies that bring a sense of balance to my life. Cooking and photography allow me to explore creativity with a variety of foods and through the lens. Camping and traveling are my gateways to adventure and new experiences, while reading keeps me immersed in worlds of knowledge and imagination!

I hope this introduction has provided you with a better understanding of who I am. I encourage you to return to this site to stay updated on my ongoing projects and achievements.
