About Me

Hello, I am Jordan Gaston, a sophomore at Old Dominion University, and an aspiring Cybersecurity major. I grew up in Newport News, Virginia with two loving parents who have supported me throughout my life. I aim to achieve academic excellence and focus on becoming a security analyst. In high school, I was given the opportunity to learn more about cybersecurity and IT. We did many labs that involved real-world scenarios, research papers, and practice certifications. I enjoyed it so much that I have decided to further my studies here at ODU and earn my degree. I am eager to apply my knowledge and enthusiasm to achieving this goal. In my free time, I enjoy reading and playing video games. Feel free to explore my portfolio to learn more about my work and experience!
