Hi, I’m Terry—a cybersecurity enthusiast with a passion for protecting digital landscapes and a strong desire to make a difference in the world of information security. My journey into cybersecurity began with a fascination for how technology shapes our lives and a determination to safeguard it from evolving threats.

I started my career with a background in IT, but it didn’t take long for me to realize that cybersecurity was where my true passion lay. I have always been driven by a curiosity to understand how systems work and, more importantly, how they can be protected from those who seek to exploit them. This curiosity led me to pursue the CISSP certification, the gold standard in the field of information security.

While my path has not been without its challenges—including a disappointing boot camp experience that taught me the importance of due diligence—I believe every experience offers a valuable lesson. That particular ordeal, where I was misled by false promises and outdated training, fueled my determination to seek out genuine, high-quality education and to share my story with others to prevent them from facing the same pitfalls.

I am committed to continuous learning and am always looking for new ways to expand my knowledge and skills. Whether it’s through official training, hands-on experience, or staying up-to-date with the latest trends and threats, I am dedicated to becoming a cybersecurity expert who not only understands the technical aspects but also the ethical and strategic considerations essential to the field.

I believe in the power of community, transparency, and integrity, both in life and in work. My goal is to not just secure networks, systems, and data, but also to help build a safer and more trustworthy digital world for everyone.

Thank you for joining me on this journey—I’m excited to see where it takes us next!
