My name is Elizabeth Gildea, and I attend Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. At Old Dominion, I am majoring in cybersecurity and on the sailing team. I was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, and I attended Mother McAuley Liberal Arts High School. During high school, I was a competitive Irish dancer, on the sailing team, and on my schools’ math team. I enjoyed my computer science classes, and I found the cybersecurity units to be facinating. Therefore, I am excited to grow and expand my knowledge on the topic!
