I have always been passionate about cybersecurity, a dynamic and ever-changing field that challenges me to grow and learn. Four years ago, I decided to follow my passion and switch from being a loan officer to a cybersecurity professional. This was a big change, but it aligned with my values and goals. Now, I am excited to work remotely in this field and help the company protect its digital assets while improving my skills.
