>> Penn State obviously, but the college of IST is where I got my degree,
specifically in security and risk analysis with a focus on cyber security.
And I actually didn't start out in the college of IST, I was originally,
my major was originally criminal justice with a business option
and I remembered having a conversation with one of my advisors and I just,
we just talked about what we some of my skills, what were some of the things
that I was interested in at the time and she mentioned to me, you know,
there's this new class that we have, or this new major I guess you could say.
And you could take this class and just kind of see what it's all about and if you
like it I think it might be something you're interested in, but you know,
we'll keep you in your current major.
And at the time, I remember taking it was the introductory course for security
and risk analysis and that class blew my mind in terms of the possibilities of my interests
and my capabilities and what I could do within a certain field or area of focus.
And from that point on I decided that I would change my major and I would move to the college
of IST and focus on SRA because it not only had more opportunities for potential jobs
after college, but also it tapped into an interest that I didn't know that I really had,
but you know, it's kind of back in deep in the back of my head in terms of something
that really intrigued and peaked my interest.
