It was always known that I would work in tech—and security was “just what I did.”
I was always taking things apart, always curious about how things worked. It was very clear from an early age that I would be in tech. I was relentlessly curious, always reverse engineering things. I was the tech-y kid who would set up all of the household electronics and that one kid who all the teachers called to fix the classroom computer.
I started in tech and moved into cybersecurity because I would just naturally operate with security in mind. Taking an official role in cybersecurity was a natural transition for me. I’m purpose-driven, so I assigned a greater purpose to my pursuit in learning cybersecurity beyond just myself. I opted to teach tech with a focus on cyber to students while I was studying the industry myself. I was learning while teaching, and it drove me to seek a deeper level of understanding because I didn’t want to let my students down. My pursuit became deeper than just me and my goals, I had a younger generation looking to me.
