Why I likes Mentoring Others:
- Cyber is vast and tough to navigate. Having someone to walk with you on that road is crucial to success.
- I like to squash misconceptions about entering the field and the people in the field. This helps to open eyes to just how obtainable a career in cybersecurity is.
- I have been helped by so many that will likely never fully know the impact they had on my life and career – now, it’s my turn.
