Hi, I’m Carla Belfiore, a senior Cybersecurity major at Old Dominion University graduating in the Spring of 2026 and planning to pursue a master in Cyber Conflict and Cyber Crime. Here, at ODU, I’ve gained hands-on experience through courses, labs, and cybersecurity events that have strengthened my technical skills and deepened my passion for the field.

My goal is to help build safer digital environments by protecting organizations and individuals from evolving cyber threats. I believe cybersecurity offers endless opportunities to learn, grow, and make a real impact in an increasingly digital world.

A little bit about my background…

I’m originally from Italy, however throughout my childhood, I had the immense opportunity to live in different countries. This allowed me to learn new languages, interacting with people from different cultures and backgrounds, and quickly adapt to new settings which in my opinion, is a fundamental skill in the job sector.
