Cybersecurity Internship Overview
During the Spring of 2026, I had the opportunity to intern for the Cyber Clinic. The Cyber Clinic is a 16‑week program through ODU where I was able to apply risk management, policy analysis, and cybersecurity best‑practice fundamentals. My team and I were paired with a local small business in the Norfolk area, where we conducted a comprehensive cybersecurity risk assessment and delivered actionable recommendations to strengthen their security posture.
