Hey! I’m Courtney and I am a cyber security engineer. My previous passions growing up mainly included dancing. I lived and breathed it. I was dancing competitively for my high school and at my studio. I was so in love with dance, I knew I was going to continue dancing as my career. Then an injury struck; I was wrong. After attending a performing arts college for not even a semester, I was back at square one trying to figure out what my life would entail.
I changed colleges and after trying a couple different avenues, I ended up loving computer science! I received a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Arizona in December 2017. Throughout my undergrad, I had two internships working for the Department of Defense where I helped develop two internal websites.
After completing my undergrad degree, I was picked up to work as a cyber security engineer for the Aerospace department within . My role within this team was to determine if the architecture and network security of aircrafts was meeting necessary requirements for aircrafts to become air-born while keeping its passengers safe. While working this job full-time, I pursued a Master of Cybersecurity from Georgia Institute of Technology.
I plan to bring you relevant content about the cyber security field. As well as, conferences and resources that I’ve found. As I have found starting out, sometimes finding the right resources can be hard and there is a lot of content to dig through to find what is useful.
