“Even though young people appear to be more tech literate, this is only because we are aware of the intended functionalities of common tools and platforms. In reality, many of us have very little knowledge about the underlying technology that makes these tools and platforms work, and I don't know how to fix this.”

What do you do?

I am constantly aiming to improve my cybersecurity, programming, and life skills.

Why?

I am deeply interested in how the Internet works--both technically and psychologically. Security provides a way for me to do something important (protecting people and their privacy) while learning more about technology and people.
