Pivoting a C.S. Degree into a Career in Forensics and Cyber Security

November 12th, 5:30pm
ASB 524

A degree in Computer Science provides the foundation for solving real-world problems in cybersecurity and digital forensics. In this presentation, I will share how core programming and problem-solving skills translated into developing custom forensic scripts, building in-house automation tools, and streamlining complex data processes. I will also highlight how computer science fundamentals extend into my everyday work dealing with developers to senior leadership.
