About

I am a returning student from an eight year hiatus. I spent that eight years honing my skills as a finish carpenter. During COVID I found a love for technology. I enjoyed learning about information technology and breaking tech to figure out how it worked. I decided to go to college for it. I chose cybersecurity as my main field of study because it felt like the top of the ladder with the most information to learn in that field. I will also have a minor in business administration to eventually have my own IT business in the future.
