Hello everyone, my name is Manuele Zarconeminyety. I am pursuing a degree in computer information systems at the College of the Desert, with the goal of transferring to the SANS Institute of Technology for a cybersecurity focus. I would like to share a bit about my background and aspirations within the field of cybersecurity. My journey into cybersecurity began during my service in the Marines. It was there that I was introduced to the complexities and importance of cybersecurity, and I quickly found myself fascinated by the challenges and opportunities it presented. This newfound passion led me to dedicate significant time and effort to developing my skills in this area. To hone my skills, I have been actively engaging with platforms such as Tryhackme and Hack The Box. These platforms offer hands-on experience with real-world scenarios, allowing me to apply theoretical knowledge to practical situations. Additionally, I have been an enthusiastic participant in the National Cyber League (NCL), where I have had the opportunity to compete and learn from some of the best minds in the field. One of my primary goals is to be recognized as a leader within the cybersecurity community. I am driven by a desire to contribute to the cybersecurity posture of the United States and to assist in protecting our nation from cyber threats. This ambition has guided my academic and extracurricular activities as I strive to gain the knowledge and experience necessary to make a significant impact. At College of the Desert, I serve as the president of the Information Systems Club (CODIS). In this role, I have had the privilege of leading a dedicated team of students who share my passion for cybersecurity. Together, we have competed in various NCL competitions, consistently performing at a high level. Our success is a testament to our teamwork, dedication, and the comprehensive training we undergo. I believe my experiences and commitment make me a strong candidate for further opportunities in the cybersecurity field. My ultimate goal is to give back to the cybersecurity community and the United States. I plan to achieve this by providing free training to individuals who are interested in entering the cybersecurity field. I understand the challenges and barriers that can prevent people from pursuing a career in cybersecurity, and I want to make it more accessible to everyone. In addition to offering training, I aspire to one day be recognized enough to speak at conferences about the current state of digital security. I believe that sharing knowledge and insights is crucial for continuously improving our cybersecurity defenses. My commitment to cybersecurity is not just professional but deeply personal. I am driven by a sense of duty to protect our digital infrastructure and ensure that we are prepared to face future challenges. This dedication is reflected in my academic pursuits, my involvement in competitive cybersecurity events, and my leadership within the CODIS club. In conclusion, I am committed to continuing this journey, with the ultimate aim of giving back to the community and enhancing our national cybersecurity posture.

My name is Manuele Zarconeminyety, and I am an aspiring cybersecurity expert. I discovered my passion for cybersecurity during my service in the Marines, and exploring this field has been an amazing experience filled with hurdles, challenges, and opportunities. Ever since learning about the cybersecurity world, I have been honing my skills on Tryhackme, Hack The Box, and in the National Cyber League-NCL. One of my main goals is to be recognized as a leader within my community and to assist on a greater scale when it comes to the cybersecurity posture of the United States. I am currently the president of the College of the Desert Information System-CODIS club, and with my team alongside me, we have competed in NCL competitions and consistently performed very well. I think I would be a good pick because, ultimately, my end goal is to give back to the cybersecurity field and the United States. I plan on doing this in the form of free training for anyone who wishes to be a part of the cybersecurity field and to one day be well-recognized enough to give conferences about the current security state of the digital landscape. For my dream job, I have multiple steps that are as important as my career goal. First, I would want to be a penetration tester for the first half of my career. I really want to gain hands-on experience in vulnerability testing and acquire a fundamental understanding of how security practices hinder attacks and how gaps in them can allow for unwanted access. From penetration testing, I would try to pivot to the blue team side of things, like a cybersecurity engineer or analyst, and ultimately reach my dream job, which would be a Cyber Threat Researcher for the United States. I hope one day I can help keep my country safe from cyberattacks, especially against critical infrastructure, with the goal of creating a safer place for my family.
