Shaquile D. Garces-Phillips

Hello everyone! My name is Shaquile Garces-Phillips, and I am a junior at Old Dominion University majoring in cybersecurity. I was born and raised in Virginia Beach, Va. Right after High school, I enlisted in the United States Air Force for 6 Years. During my enlistment, I was a part of the United States Air Force Honor Guard, and after that, during the remainder of my enlistment, I was an HVAC tech. After Enlisting, I enrolled in the Swedish Institute. I obtained an associate degree and certification to be a certified surgical technologist, which I am using as my current certification. I work Flexi at Sentara Hospital in the operating room as an Operator drayage company and attend school. The reason I am taking this course is So that I can further my knowledge of cybersecurity. Once I complete this program, I will be able to burst into the cybersecurity world and obtain numerous different certificates and building blocks so that I can eventually start my own company in the cybersecurity world.
