Bio

I am a sophomore at Florida Gulf Coast University, where I am working toward a dual degree in computer science with a concentration in cybersecurity and forensic studies. I’m passionate about technology and languages — currently studying Korean and Chinese alongside my coursework. I’ve taken a rigorous academic path with AP, honors, and additional online classes through Florida Virtual School. I also hold multiple industry certifications, including Python Specialist, JavaScript Specialist, CompTIA ITF+, CompTIA Tech+, Sophos Endpoint Detection, Sophos Workplace Protection, Adobe Creative Visual and Design, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Photoshop, all of which have prepared me for success in both college and my future career in computer forensics. Throughout high school, I participated in the Sumter County Explorer Program, where I got to learn a lot more about law enforcement and volunteer within my community. This program helped me discover my interest in law enforcement and guided me towards digital forensics.

Winner
Throughout high school, I participated in the VHS Cheer team. On the team we learned more than just cheers and stunts, but also balanced responsibility, built discipline, and how to push through challenges; skills that I will carry with me in my life. Cheer may not always get the credit it deserves. Behind the glittery bows and pom poms, there is a team of hard working young women: waking up early for competitions and practices, pushing their limits in the weight room, and staying up late to do homework. Balancing cheer with academics, Explorers, tutoring, babysitting, and caring for my grandmother wasn’t easy. I had to learn to manage time down to the minute–fitting practice, games, weight lifting, and competitions around late night study sessions and dr appointments. Cheerleaders are often overlooked as athletes, but make no mistake; we train like athletes, commit time like athletes, perform like athletes, and make sacrifices like athletes. That pressure forced me to grow up fast and sharpen my ability to manage competing priorities without letting anything slip. On top of cheer, Explorers, tutoring, and caring for my grandmother, I’ve taken a schedule full of AP and honors courses; classes that will push me academically while potentially gaining college credit. I’ve also earned multiple industry certifications in areas such as Python, Adobe, and small business, proving that I’m driven both in the classroom and tech world just as I am on the mat. In both cheer and Explorers, I built strength in spaces that I initially wouldn’t expect. I didn’t just survive in male-dominated areas–law enforcement with Explorers–I thrived. This shaped who I became, someone not afraid to ask questions, push boundaries, or lead, even if I am the only woman in the room. This mindset is already helping me make strides towards entering the computer forensics field, a field where I will combine both software engineering and forensic science, both heavily male-dominated industries. But I know I have the grit and focus to push myself and thrive in this industry. Cheerleading was more than just a sport to me, it was the start of becoming a strong, capable woman, who can handle pressure well and break stereotypes. I've learned to balance it all, speak up, and put in the work when no one is watching. Most importantly, I’ve learned that being a strong woman isn't just about holding your own; it's about showing up fully, lifting others up, and proving through action that we belong anywhere we choose to be.
