Summary

The breadth of my experiences, spanning caregiving, DUI instruction, and ministry, has cultivated a unique set of competencies, notably in critical thinking, communication, and meticulous attention to detail. At Upper Cumberland Turning Point, my role as a DUI Instructor harnesses my communicative abilities to educate and influence positive change. Meanwhile, my ongoing cybersecurity studies reflect my commitment to continuous learning and personal growth.

Within the context of ministry, my tenure as an Associate Minister required a deep understanding of ethical frameworks and community engagement. These experiences are now the bedrock upon which I build my cybersecurity expertise. The fusion of these roles underscores my dedication to safeguarding information and contributing to a more secure digital landscape.
