About
I am currently a senior studying cyber security at California State Universality, Dominguez Hills and expecting graduation in May 2016. I attend conferences such as LayerOne, ToorCon: San Diego, and Security BSides LA to educate myself with current and upcoming threats to cyber security. I have also been competing in the Nation Cyber League and the Western Regional Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition the last few years. After graduating, my plan is to work for two to four years, building my knowledge and increasing my practical skills. Afterwards, my desire is to attend grad school and earn a master’s degree.
