CyberStart America / National Cyber Scholarship Competition
SANS Institute
I enjoy challenging myself, so I participated in this competition that culminated in a rigorous 48-hour "capture the flag"-style cybersecurity competition. I placed in the competition, winning both a scholarship and an opportunity to enroll in the Cyber Foundations Academy's summer session at no cost to me.
