A not so long 4 years ago, I arrived at Southern University as an ambitious Computer Science major excited to make the most of every opportunity placed in front of me. Since then, Southern has challenged me, molded me, and opened doors I never would’ve thought possible. Throughout every leadership role, internship, scholarship, conference, late night, and life lesson, I’ve grown not only as a student, but as a person, leader, and future cybersecurity professional. The memories, relationships, and experiences I’ve gained throughout this journey will stay with me forever.
