As a rising high school senior, this summer I worked on tracking threats, patching vulnerabilities, battling ransomware and Trojan viruses, and helping our end users keep their systems secure. Each day brought new challenges that pushed me to learn continuously and think one step ahead. I’m grateful for the mentorship and endless support from Mr. Robert Maldonado. His advice turned obstacles into opportunities, and I’m eager to keep learning and make a bigger impact in cybersecurity!
