3. How did you start this career?

I first started my journey in university and ended up earning a B.S. in Cybersecurity. After graduation, I had a hard time getting my foot in the door. I joined a Discord server named 'Cyber Insecurity,' which led me to connect with countless amazing people in the field. I networked and created content on LinkedIn. Out of nowhere, one of the many friends I met in Cyber Insecurity referred me to the company they were working for, giving me the chance to seize an opportunity and land an amazing career in cybersecurity.
