HOW DID YOU GET STARTED IN THE INDUSTRY, AND WHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE THIS PATh?
I joined the air force after one year AT gEORGIA sTATE (decided college wasn’t the route I wanted INITIALLY) and became a client systems technican for the USAF. I then used my gi benefits and completed two degrees.
What advice do you have for women starting their careers?
find a mentor who is the same career field you are interested in. I also STILL read a few “women in cyber/Tech” type pages on linkden and reddit FOR ADVICE ON NETWORKING AND FINDING EVENTS.
HOw does Link support you in your professional goals?
link supports me by offering all my tech certifications (and recerts) to be paid for and has included me in leadership training courses/events.
What inspires you?
I love learning about people who have come from “nothing” so to speak, and became successful on their own, without being handed things their entire lives.
I also really enjoy seeing women who have joined the military and became accomplished that route because that is something I relate to.
