About Me

Hi, I am Nadia Simpson!

I’m a senior at Old Dominion University, on the verge of earning my bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity this May. My journey in tech started at Tidewater Community College, where I earned my associate degree and expanded my knowledge with a mix of business courses and ITN 171, which introduced me to the fundamentals of the UNIX system, which is a core technology in the cybersecurity field.

With a strong foundation in business and cybersecurity, I aspire to have a career as a cybersecurity analyst, where I can apply my technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and passion for digital security to protect systems and data in an ever-evolving career field.
