I am a cybersecurity student at Old Dominion University continuing into the Cybersecurity master’s program. I am driven by a strong curiosity about how digital systems work and how they can be protected from evolving threats. Technology has interested me from a young age, and learning how to secure complex, connected environments has guided my academic and professional goals. As an emerging cybersecurity professional, I aim to strengthen digital privacy, build effective defenses, and help others feel safer online.<\/p>\n
