NomineeBio
Hello! My name is Elizabeth Isham and I am a first year student at University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point. I did bounce around a couple of majors but have found my place and am currently pursuing a double major in CIS - Cybersecurity and Networking in order to achieve my goals in life and set myself up for success.
Although there aren't currently many study abroad options currently due to Covid-19, I hope to someday spend a semester either in Montana, Boston, or abroad. I also hope to join my university's co-op with Sentry Insurance in the future.
I would absolutely love to work in cybersecurity. My absolute dream would be to work for the FBI with their National Cyber Investigate Joint Task Force. It is highly competitive to be employed there, but I'm willing to put in the work!
I love challenging myself and pushing towards my dreams, but one of the biggest challenges I am starting to face is paying for college. I have worked many part-time jobs and plan to work full-time this summer. I also plan on becoming an RA for UWSP next academic year to help with costs.
Thank you for getting to the bottom of this long bio! Even a small scholarship would be a huge help in my college journey!
"If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced. ” - Vincent van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh is well known for his beautiful, colorful, and emotional paintings, and is one of the many reasons that I love him. What I think is even more important, though, are his words which are as beautiful, if not more breathtaking, than his art. "There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people" is a message that needs to be spread in today's world.
