What three words would you use to describe your role?
Creative, unique, and interesting.
What do you wish other people knew about the NCL?
It provides valuable experience for people who have not yet started a cybersecurity career. Finding your first job is really hard, no matter what field you’re in, because you might not have much to put on your resume. If you have something to prove your skills (the NCL Scouting Report), it makes you stand out amongst the many other job applicants.
What might someone be surprised to know about you?
Music is a huge interest of mine; I have headphones on as I’m typing this! I listen to everything, but I really love hardcore/metalcore, pop punk, emo, and a million other “rock” or “punk” subgenres. I go to a ton of concerts, and even go to some of them alone. I just love the experience.
What’s the next place on your travel bucket list?
The Pacific Northwest. I think the coast and forests out there are so beautiful.
What would you do for a career if you weren’t a Software Engineer?
I think animation is fascinating. If it wasn’t extremely time consuming, I’d love to be an animator.
