Since childhood, I have always been a hard working student who actively searched for her passion and strongly believed in doing her best. This is one of the most influential contributors of where I am today. As a computer science engineering student, I was still actively looking for my passion in the field, when an opportunity presented itself. I was offered a job with a Big 4 Consulting firm, PwC, as a Cybersecurity Analyst. I conducted extensive research to evaluate if I can be passionate about this, and finally decided to grab this opportunity and see where this path would take me. I was extremely new to this field and was fascinated by the day to day work that I was doing at PwC. This is when I realized that this is something I'd love to build a career in. I gained knowledge in several domains such as cyber security, information and communicatio technology, IT auditing and process improvement methodologies. During this time, I also realized the importance of data analytics as to how we can gather insights through data and drive decision making for an organization. This realization made me pursue my MS in Information Systems from University of Maryland that particularly focused on data analytics. Today, I can say that I am very happy with my career path so far as I can see the impact I'm creating through my work by utilizing my previous work expereince as well as my Masters knowledge in my current role.
