About

Through all of high school there was such a heavy push for trying to decide your future interest as soon as you could. My school even introduced specific departments to help with that. And even though I knew I was interested in computers and was in the "engineering" department in my school, I still wasn't sure what I wanted to do specifically with a computing future. It wasn't until my senior year, when a simple intro to cybersecurity course was introduced as a possible general class that I could take. That's when it truly hit me, it was in that class that the fire in me lit up, being able to explore networking from the prospective of security showed me something I hadn't thought of before. Thus leading me to pursuing cyber security at Grand Valley State University. I can't wait to see where I'll be able to go through this major, what kinds of jobs I can have, what people I can meet, and what experiences I can be satisfied with. I've been educated in multiple programming languages, being familiar with Python, C, and SQL. I can properly navigate and use terminal commands in both Windows and Linux operating systems. I have done class projects including an Arcade in Python, a database in SQL on Linux, a networking topology using Cisco Packet Tracer on Linux, and tutoring C and Linux Command Line at the GVSU Success Center. And classes such as Information Assurance, System Security, and Wireless Networks and Security helped educate me in unique and differing approaches to security necessary in different networking and technical environments.

Required to learn and work four different stations. Stove, which required cooking burgers, chicken and other different meats potentially required for a burger. Bun station, which had me construct buns with condiments that the customer had specifically requested. Fryers, which required me to cook specific foods, primarily including sides and fried chickens to order. And middle, which consisted of final construction and roundup of everything the specific order had required from the back of house stations.
