My Personal Statement
I am a veteran and a senior student pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Innovation in Computer Security. In my life, I have overcome many obstacles, such as learning a new language and living away from my family at sixteen years old. After joining the military, it was hard to fit in since I had a really thick accent, which caused some discrepancies among my peers. However, I learned that having thick skin, resilience, and adaptability helped me build character and who I am today. When I was getting out of the military, I was deeply interested in cybersecurity, which motivated me to get into school. There, I acquired more skills and insights such as coding, paying attention to detail, and, most importantly, communicating with people and getting to know them by networking. I met people who offered me opportunities and guided me to new interests, such as aerospace and cybersecurity innovations. When I graduate, I will keep growing and learning to keep my mind open and my ideas flowing.
