Work Experience:
A seasoned Army veteran who left the military in 2017, I hold a master's degree in social work and am just two semesters away from completing a second master's in cybersecurity. My unique combination of social work and cybersecurity expertise allows me to approach problem-solving with both a human-centered and technical perspective, setting me apart from other candidates. My military experience has provided me with leadership, discipline, and adaptability, while my dual degrees highlight my commitment to excellence and make me a well-rounded professional in two distinct yet complementary fields.
