Who Am I?
I aspire to study and research in the field of information security. I'm a graduate student with a Bachelor of Business Administration, Management Information Systems with a focus on Information Security. I've enrolled and completed UTA's Cyber Security Bootcamp and have obtained CompTIA's Security+ SY0-701 ce.
I was previously a double major with Accounting and Management Information Systems, but pivoted to focusing on MIS when realizing that I enjoyed learning more about IoT and security practices. Prior to any IT roles, I've had the opportunity to work at a pharmacy as a Certified Pharmacy Technician for four years, while simultaneously working at accounting internships.
