I am an immigrant hailing from the Philippines. I’ve lived most of my life in San Diego and National City, California. After high school I enlisted in the United States Navy and after the completion of my basic training I was sent to Charleston, South Carolina for an additional two years of training in the nuclear program as an Electronics Technician. I switched jobs after two years to become an electrician. I was stationed in Norfolk, Virginia working on amphibious ships. In June 2023, I left the Navy at the end of my contract and chose to stay in Virginia. I am currently a Junior and a Cybersecurity major at Old Dominion University. I aspire to have a career in digital forensics and work in law enforcement or government agencies.
