How has CSI³ helped you?
CSI³ helped me secure a job after graduation with the CSUDH Fab Lab Team. Today, 05/18/20 was my first day on the job. It was a great day meeting and interacting with friendly and helpful people. I am so excited to learn and contribute to the mission of the CSUDH Fab Lab Team. Also, CSI³ has helped me prepare for job and internship interviews and resumes. They have always been more than happy to assist me. The staff is always there for me when I need guidance or have any simple questions.

What keeps you motivated and positive throughout life’s hardships?
Setting a goal for myself and striving to achieve it. The harder the goal the more I want it because the payoff will be grand in the end.

What advice would you like to give to your fellow scholars?
As cliché as it sounds, never give up because that is easy. Push yourself to become better, smarter, and wiser than you once were before.

What are your plans after graduation?
Currently I am working at the CSUDH Fab Lab. I am trying to save up money for CompTIA Certificates Security +, Network +, and IT + that can help me in achieving a career of my choice. In the future I plan to go back to school and get a Masters in Cyber Security.
