My name is Michael Fortune, and I live in Clive, Iowa. I currently work in IT support, where I assist users with technical issues, maintain computer systems, and help ensure technology operates securely and efficiently.

My experience in IT support has provided valuable exposure to cybersecurity principles. Every day, I work with technologies and processes that help protect systems, manage user access, troubleshoot security-related issues, and promote safe computing practices. These responsibilities have strengthened my understanding of the importance of cybersecurity in modern organizations.

In addition to my professional experience, I am pursuing cybersecurity education to expand my technical knowledge and skills. Through coursework and hands-on learning opportunities, I have developed a greater understanding of topics such as network security, risk management, cyber threats, and security best practices.

My long-term goal is to build a career in cybersecurity where I can combine my technical support experience with advanced security knowledge to help organizations protect their systems, data, and users from evolving cyber threats.
