It has been almost year a since I have completed my MS in Information Systems with a security focus from Central Michigan University (CMU) and left my position as a community manager (property management/affordable) housing. I left the position to become a Software Process Associate with in another organization. It is great to be in a position where I’m able to apply my graduate training and skills.
Also, I’ve begun preparing to test for the Comptia IT Fundamentals and Security+ certifications. I have chosen the two certifications because I’m interested in confirming basic user competency through the IT Fundamentals and Security+ certifications.
Since graduation, I’m volunteering as my time allows as a Teaching Assistant (TA) with Cybrary. Security education is an interest because of my background in training and development. This allows me to connect and learn from others.
At this time, I’m focusing on self learning and my certifications with an eye to the future and possibly some research endeavors. I realize this is probably not the best content post. However, I felt I needed to get this out to the universe, before I produce more useful posts.
