This Cybersecurity Applications section showcases classes that focus on applying cybersecurity concepts to real-world technical environments. These courses helped me develop practical skills through digital forensics, cybercrime investigation, group projects, and interdisciplinary research.

CRJS 310 – Cybercrime Foundations

This course introduced major types of cybercrime and how digital evidence is used in investigations. I participated in group projects creating PowerPoint presentations on topics such as crime categories, offender motivations, case studies, and societal impacts.

You can view all of my Cybercrime Group Project Presentations here.

CYSE 407 – Digital Forensics (In Progress)

IDS 300W – Interdisciplinary Theory and Concepts

This course emphasized interdisciplinary research, academic writing, and applying multiple academic perspectives to solve real-world problems. I completed a series of writing workshops focused on the Repko and Szostak (2021) 10-STEP interdisciplinary research model, a major term research paper, and multiple class discussions that helped me develop critical thinking and integrative research skills.

You can view examples of my class discussion responses here.

You can view my Writing Workshops PowerPoints — including a Visual Research Process Map, Data Table of Insights, Disciplinary Quotes Analysis, and Final Visual Argument here.

You can also view my term research paper, AI in Cloud Digital Forensics, here.
