Major: Computing Security & Technology

Year: Senior

Hometown: Philadelphia, PA

I chose this major because... I knew that I wanted to work within technology and the cybersecurity field, but as someone that was returning to school in my late 20's to early 30's, I needed a program that was online and flexible. The CST program at Drexel not only fit those requirements but also had the added benefit of being one of the best programs of its kind in the country.

Favorite Course(s): CT 414: Ethical Hacking & Penetration Testing

Clubs/Extracurricular Activities: CCI DEI Council, Course Assistant

Co-ops I’ve done: None/Online Student (I do work full time in my field as a cybersecurity analyst at Jefferson Health)

Favorite thing/place at Drexel: The Masci Family Student Veterans Lounge

When I'm not at Drexel, I'm... Catching up on my favorite shows, reading a good book, listening to music, or cooking up something in the kitchen.

When you are in Philadelphia, I think you should... Go to the Philadelphia Art Museum (Check out their "pay what you wish" days that fall on the first Sunday of every month), see a touring broadway musical or the Philly Orchestra at the Kimmel Center, and attend a Mummer's Parade on New Year's Day.

Advice to new/incoming CCI students: Talk to your professors, teaching assistants, and course assistants outside of class! Whether it is something directly related to the course or not, professors and assistants love to interact and chat with their students. The staff and faculty at Drexel are excited for you to learn and grow, and most truly enjoy getting to build friendships with their students.

What is your dream job: Becoming a teaching professor - or maybe even a dean!
