Hi! My name is Daron Brown, and I’m currently working toward my Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity. I’ve always been interested in technology and keeping information safe, and now I’m turning that passion into a career. During my time in school, I’ve learned about security policies, risk management, compliance frameworks like NIST and PCI DSS, and how to use basic cybersecurity tools. I’ve also completed several class projects where I created security plans and helped analyze cyber incidents.

I'm eager to start my career in an entry-level cybersecurity role where I can apply what I’ve learned, gain hands-on experience, and continue growing in this exciting and important field. I'm hardworking, a great team player, and always looking for ways to improve and learn more.
