Hi! I'm Quinn, I'm a B.S. Cybersecurity student at Old Dominion University (Class of 2027) with a minor in political science, based in Chesapeake, Virginia. Most of my time goes into learning networking, Linux, and lab work, but the political science minor is aimed to keep me plugged into the policy and governance side of security too. Outside of school, I'm into music, traveling, and anything and everything outside. I'm actively seeking internship and entry-level opportunities in cybersecurity.
