I am aiming for a masters degree in computer science. I just completed a bachelors degree in criminal justice. I no longer want to go to law school. I enjoy investigations and I’m in a cyber security law and policy class that really highlights the need for people like me with investigatory skills to address the various online threats. My father served in the Air Force guarding nuclear secrets and was an investigator and I guess it’s just part of my identity. I come from a long line of military, all branches. A lot of my family has worked for the Department of Defense their entire lives.
I’m interested in working for Department of Defense because I believe that the structure and environment would help train me and help me to become more proficient in hands on, real world application of my cybersecurity skills. I have also incurred substantial debt through federal student loans that I need to pay off. Not having the anxiety of financial stress would free me up to be able to focus on furthering my career skills . I’m from a very small state of Vermont where opportunities are limited. I believe the Department of Defense would benefit from me, as well as my colleagues. The new frontier is the World Wide Web and guarding our border is the number one mission. I not only am a student at a very prestigious computer science university, but I have a very well rounded education. I have just completed a leadership school and I have been in the military. I was an electrician and avionics technician in the military, as well as I have been to IT schools.
