I am a student at Old Dominion University, currently pursuing a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Cybersecurity. Before transferring to ODU, I spent time at Tidewater Community College, where I began building a foundation in technical skills and explored different areas before committing fully to cybersecurity. My academic journey has allowed me to gain both hands-on experience and theoretical knowledge, preparing me for the challenges of this rapidly evolving field. I have worked on various projects and labs involving tools like Kali Linux and Wireshark, which have helped me develop strong technical and analytical skills. I am excited to continue growing my expertise and showcasing my work through this ePortfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
