I&#8217;m currently studying Cybercrime at Old Dominion University, with plans to graduate in may 2025. My ultimate goal is to pursue a career in law enforcement, where I can apply my passion for cybersecurity to help combat digital threats and protect our communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, I&#8217;ve built strong skills in leadership, organization, and writing &#8211; qualities that have helped me succeed both academically and personally. In 2024, I was honored to be inducted into Omicron Delta Kappa, the National Leadership Honor Society, through ODU&#8217;s Circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of school, like is full and rewarding. I&#8217;ve been married 12 years to my amazing wife, and we&#8217;re raising two awesome kids &#8211; a 7 year old son and a 5 year old daughter. We love spending time together camping, going to sporting events, and occasionally competing in a friendly game of Mario Kart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe in working hard, staying organized, and always leading by example. Thanks for stopping by my EPortfolio &#8211; I hope it gives you a glimpse into who I am and what I am passionate about.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"756\" height=\"1008\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/jtayl108\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33462\/2025\/04\/1000001070.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-326\" style=\"width:514px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/jtayl108\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33462\/2025\/04\/1000001070.jpg 756w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/jtayl108\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33462\/2025\/04\/1000001070-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/jtayl108\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33462\/2025\/04\/1000001070-630x840.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 756px) 100vw, 756px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>PERSONAL NARRATIVE ESSAY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"ead-preview\"><div class=\"ead-document\" style=\"position: relative;padding-top: 90%;\"><div class=\"ead-iframe-wrapper\"><iframe src=\"\/\/docs.google.com\/viewer?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsites.wp.odu.edu%2Fjtayl108%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F33462%2F2025%2F04%2FPersonal-Narrative-Essay-3.docx&amp;embedded=true&amp;hl=en\" title=\"Embedded Document\" class=\"ead-iframe\" style=\"width: 100%;height: 100%;border: none;position: absolute;left: 0;top: 0;visibility: hidden;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\t\t\t<div class=\"ead-document-loading\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;position:absolute;left:0;top:0;z-index:10;\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ead-loading-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ead-loading-main\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ead-loading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/jtayl108\/wp-content\/plugins\/embed-any-document\/images\/loading.svg\" width=\"55\" height=\"55\" alt=\"Loader\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Loading&#8230;<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ead-loading-foot\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ead-loading-foot-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/jtayl108\/wp-content\/plugins\/embed-any-document\/images\/EAD-logo.svg\" alt=\"EAD Logo\" width=\"36\" height=\"23\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Taking too long?<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ead-document-btn ead-reload-btn\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/jtayl108\/wp-content\/plugins\/embed-any-document\/images\/reload.svg\" alt=\"Reload\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\"\/> Reload document\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>|<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/viewer?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsites.wp.odu.edu%2Fjtayl108%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F33462%2F2025%2F04%2FPersonal-Narrative-Essay-3.docx&#038;hl=en\" class=\"ead-document-btn\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/jtayl108\/wp-content\/plugins\/embed-any-document\/images\/open.svg\" alt=\"Open\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\"\/> Open in new tab\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, I&#8217;m Joseph Robert Taylor, but most people call me Joe.
