CYBERSECURITY: At Old Dominion University, I am passionate about protecting digital systems and preventing cyber threats in a digital world. I have been able to gain knowledge in network security, ethical hacking, risk management, and data protection while studying cybersecurity. I like the process of learning about vulnerabilities, how cyber attacks are done, and how to prevent them. The field is constantly evolving, which challenges me to keep abreast of new threats and security technologies. I have learned the value of critical thinking, problem solving, and adaptability from my coursework in order to combat cyber threats. I like to learn how to secure networks, protect data, and be part of making the digital world a safer place. Since cybersecurity is becoming more and more important in almost every industry, I am very much looking forward to further developing my skills and to work in a field where I can contribute to the protection of organizations against evolving cyber threats.

FOOTBALL: As a linebacker for Old Dominion University (ODU), I’ve always strived to bring my best to the field. I take pride in my physicality and agility, attributes that have been instrumental in my performance. During the 2024 season, I started all 11 games, ranking fourth on the team with 62 tackles and contributing 7.5 tackles for loss. These statistics reflect my commitment to the sport and my team. Balancing academics and athletics has been challenging, but my time at Ocean Lakes High School in Virginia Beach prepared me well for this journey. The support from my coaches, teammates, and the ODU community has been invaluable, and I look forward to continuing to grow both on and off the field.
