My goal is to become a network engineer or work in the cybersecurity field. Currently, I serve as Vice President and am active member in ASU’s Association of Information Technology Professionals. As a Navy veteran, I’m utilizing my Post 9/11 GI Bill to fund my education, which has been especially helpful during these uncertain times.
