About Me

 
Hello!♡
My name is Tia. I’ve been in cybersecurity since 2020. Before that, I was in the United States Navy as a Fire Controlman. I decided to leave the military and at the end of a four month SkillBridge internship, I was hired on for my first role in cybersecurity as a Cybersecurity Engineer.
I received my Bachelor’s Degree Magna Cum Laude in Computer Science with a concentration in Information Technology with a GPA of 3.73.
I participate in Veteran advocacy groups and WICYS.
In my free time I like to spend time with my two kids, watch Netflix documentaries, and learn more about the vast field of cybersecurity through self study.

  • SNHU Grace Hopper Scholarship (2020)
  • Onward2Opportunity (2021)
  • WICYS Veteran Fellowship Award (2021)
  • SAIC CyberWarrior Scholarship (2021)
