Growing up, my fascination with video games, particularly consoles like the Game Cube and Xbox, paved the way in steering me toward the field of cybersecurity. My journey began with modding the games I played, which sparked my interest in hacking. At the age of 13, I jailbroke my first Apple device and even turned it into a small business by helping friends jailbreak their devices. Later, at 16, I assembled my own gaming PC, deepening my curiosity about computer hardware. During my junior year of high school, I discovered the world of cybersecurity, and it instantly resonated with me as a career path. I enrolled in Lynn University, declaring cybersecurity as my major. Now, having graduated, I’m thrilled to dive into this dynamic and fascinating field!
