What is your most memorable college experience?    

One of my most memorable college experiences was being invited to speak at the Board of Trustees Banquet for CCBC. This opportunity allowed me to share my story in front of the college’s leadership and distinguished guests, and to network with high-level professionals whose insights and encouragement have inspired my academic and career ambitions.  

Where do you want to be in 10 years, and how can this internship help you get there?   

In 10 years, I envision myself working as a Senior SOC Analyst, specializing in government contracts, while simultaneously growing my own AI software development business alongside my partners. I am passionate about cybersecurity and artificial intelligence, and I believe that combining these fields will allow me to make a meaningful impact in both the public and private sectors.   

This internship is a crucial step toward achieving my goals. It will provide me with hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of how organizations operate, particularly within their IT departments. By working closely with professionals in the field, I hope to gain valuable insights into the complexities and challenges that IT teams face daily. This exposure will not only strengthen my technical skills but also enhance my ability to develop innovative solutions — both as a future SOC Analyst and as an entrepreneur in the AI space.   

What does philanthropy mean to you?   

To me, philanthropy is about using one’s resources, skills, and time to make a positive and lasting impact on the lives of others. It goes beyond simply giving money; it’s about fostering meaningful change, supporting communities, and empowering individuals to reach their full potential.   

What excites you most about spending your summer in Baltimore?   

What excites me most about spending my summer in Baltimore is the chance to engage with a vibrant community rich in culture and opportunity. I’ve been in Baltimore for a few years now, but I still am very eager to explore new places within the city.
