Through my various internships and studies at Clemson, I gained proficiency in multiple coding languages while developing my skills as a leader. My junior and senior years I was elected as secretary for Clemson’s Cyber Defense Club, CUCyber. While acting in this role, I increased the club’s membership, quality of communication, and revenue. I even lead the organization of the first ever multi-university cybersecurity competition on Clemson’s campus.
I was hired straight out of college by Visa to work as a cybersecurity engineer. My normal work included penetration testing both web and mobile applications. My responsibilities quickly grew to include teaching others and most notably, creating the security policies and standards for all Visa offices in regards to IoT devices. This involved the consistent coordination of communication between various teams both internal and external to Visa.
