My name is Stephanie and this is my third year already at Albertus Magnus. I'm from Bridgeport originally, but I purchased my first home in Hamden. I am getting my bachelor's degree in Cyber security and have been extremely excited about it. This is a career change for me but this is what I've always wanted to do. In my culture we are raised to work regular jobs and raise a family, take care of our husband's that we never put ourselves first. I have a daughter who will be 12 in a couple of weeks and my son whos 1 1/2 years old. I made this change so I can live a better life with my children. If I get my degree I'll be the first and only one to do so out of my brother and sisters. Since I was laid off my company last year, due to covid, I started bartending for private events and have loved it so much, now I am building a side business for private events. My plan is to get my degree and work in cyber while running my side business as well. You have to love what you do and I can say I'm creating that for myself everyday, and it's the best feeling ever. This class was difficult for me to use at first, but it's been theory fun by far. Especially being in the summer, I was able to get out and explore, take beautiful photos, and learn so much. I want to learn more about digital photography.
