About
After graduating University with a Bachelor's in Philosophy, I decided Cybersecurity was the path I wanted to take. I enrolled in a Continuing Education program for a Certification in Applied Cybersecurity and spent my evenings attending my classes while working full-time during the weekdays. Since obtaining said certificate, I have been taking part in online labs and continuing to hone my skills and understanding of security fundamentals. I have received the ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity Certificate and will be taking my CompTIA Security+ exam in the coming weeks.
My interests lie in the forensics aspect of the field. However, throughout my career I would like to also experience Blue team and Red team job placements. I believe to best understand situations, it helps to have experience from each area of a given situation.
My goal is to continue learning and growing my knowledge in all aspects of the field and to take the CISSP exam once I have the necessary experience required to obtain the certificate.
