This section of my portfolio highlights the academic coursework that has shaped my development as a cybersecurity student at Old Dominion University. The cybersecurity program integrates interdisciplinary learning with technical and analytical training, preparing students to address complex security challenges in modern computing environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The courses presented here reflect the progression of my studies through foundational concepts, networking and security principles, and hands-on technical applications such as Linux system administration and digital forensics. Together, these experiences have helped me build the technical knowledge, problem-solving ability, and critical thinking skills necessary for a career in cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
