Where I am now:
As of September 2023, I have graduated from STC with an Associates in Computer Science. I have currently transferred to UTRGV and am pursuing a bachelor's degree in cybersecurity, hopefully finishing by 2025. While in the EFAS program, I have learned about what it’s like to work in a laboratory setting as well as learn under Dr. Blackman and have Dr. Conway as a mentor. It was an amazing experience working at the Moorefield Air Base but unfortunately, I was not able to fully complete the time required in the program due to Covid-19 spreading in its early stages and I was sent home.
