I am an aspiring information technology and cybersecurity professional focused on building strong technical, analytical, and problem-solving skills. I am passionate about technology, continuous learning, and developing secure and efficient systems. My goal is to grow academically and professionally while contributing meaningful solutions in the IT and cybersecurity field.
My interest in technology began through curiosity about how computers and digital systems work behind the scenes. Over time, this curiosity developed into a strong passion for information technology and cybersecurity, especially in areas like computer hardware, networking, and system security.
I received hands-on technical training in the IT and Cybersecurity pathway at Penta Career Center, where I built foundational skills in computer hardware, troubleshooting, networking fundamentals, and introductory cybersecurity concepts. Through this experience, I gained practical knowledge in PC assembly, system configuration, and problem-solving in technical environments.
As I continue my academic journey, I will be furthering my education at University of Toledo, where I plan to expand my skills and knowledge in information technology and cybersecurity. My goal is to continue growing through both academic learning and real-world experience.
This path has helped me develop a strong interest in how systems operate, how they can be improved, and how they can be protected. I am motivated to continue learning, building my skills, and working toward a future career in IT and cybersecurity where I can contribute to secure and reliable technology systems.
