My journey began at the Chesapeake Center for Science and Technology, where I earned my CompTIA A+ certification, marking my entry into the IT world. This achievement opened the door to my first job at a local computer repair store, where I gained valuable skills and customer service experience. Building on this, I transitioned to an IT Help Desk position, further honing my technical support abilities. My career took a major turn when I joined the military, working extensively with networking systems, satellite communications, and exploring cybersecurity. This experience deepened my understanding of  IT environments and the importance of secure communication. Currently, I hold an associate degree in cybersecurity from Tidewater Community College, which complements my practical knowledge with solid academic grounding. Outside of technology, I enjoy traveling and attending sporting events, activities that help me stay balanced and inspired. I am excited to continue growing in the tech field, combining my hands-on experience, military discipline, and academic background to tackle new challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am passionate about technology and have built a strong foundation through many experiences in both education and hands-on roles.
