Hello!
My name is Cora Wilson, and I am passionate about cybersecurity and the technology sector. I recently graduated with an Associate of Applied Science degree from Laurel Ridge Community College, where I also earned a Cybersecurity Specialist certification. During my time at Laurel Ridge, I consistently maintained high academic standing, earning a place on both the President’s List and Dean’s List for two consecutive years.

Currently, I am furthering my education by pursuing a Bachelor of Applied Science in Cybersecurity at Old Dominion University. The transition to Old Dominion has allowed me to broaden my understanding of the cybersecurity landscape and deepen my technical knowledge, all while studying remotely. This flexibility has enabled me to manage my studies alongside self-improvement initiatives, which have played an important role in both my personal and professional development.

In addition to my academic achievements, I have two years of practical experience as an IT Specialist Intern. During my internship, I applied my theoretical knowledge in real-world settings, working closely with IT professionals. I developed essential skills in troubleshooting, systems maintenance, network security, and customer support. This hands-on experience also gave me exposure to various aspects of IT infrastructure, further fueling my passion for the cybersecurity field.

After taking a brief hiatus from the workforce to focus on personal development and complete my final semester at Laurel Ridge, I am now actively seeking part-time employment in IT. My goal is to bring my skills, certifications, and work experience to a dynamic team where I can continue to grow and contribute to meaningful projects. I am particularly interested in roles that allow me to work within cybersecurity frameworks and IT infrastructure management, as I continue to refine my expertise in protecting digital assets and ensuring data security.

I am eager to re-enter the workforce and begin the next chapter of my career, combining my academic knowledge, practical experience, and passion for the tech industry. Whether through an internship, entry-level role, or part-time position, I am confident that I can bring value to any organization while advancing my professional development in the rapidly evolving world of cybersecurity.
