When I graduated with my Master’s degree, I thought I was set. I imagined myself securing a six-figure cybersecurity role right away. But reality hit hard. I had no certifications, no direction, and no idea how to stand out.

Instead of securing that “dream job,” I found myself still working as a customer success rep at Square, watching time pass and doubting whether I’d ever break into Cyber.

But one year later, I made a decision that changed everything—I studied, passed my Security+, and landed my first role as a Cybersecurity Instructor.

And that’s when it hit me... What if I had the right guidance when I was still in school? What if I knew the shortcuts, the certs, and the strategy that actually worked?

That’s why I created The Career Navigator—because no one should feel lost like I did. It’s everything I wish I had: a roadmap, mentorship, and real-world clarity to break into Cybersecurity with confidence.

If you're feeling stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed, just know this: You're just one decision away from a completely different life.
