About
I've spent years developing my soft skills both in the mental health field and as a teacher. I offered on site tech support to staff and students for years now and enjoyed every minute of it. I went back to school to study something I am truly passionate about, Cybersecurity. There are so many fascinating pieces of cybersecurity and the learning is endless! I’ve been enjoying getting the hands on technical experience and working different cybersecurity puzzles. Nothing more satisfying than fixing challenging problems and I'm so excited to be able to do that on a daily basis!
