Welcome to The Neighborhood, Brittany, an Army spouse, and mother of two boys who enjoys learning new things, gaming, and being creative is building community. Brittany comes from an immigrant family and is a first-generation American. She was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts. She has always been an enthusiast of the tech industry; however, recently, she joined the industry professionally. She is now on the path toward growing a professional career in cybersecurity!
How Our Blue Star Careers Story Began
Brittany joined our Blue Star Careers community and began taking advantage of the certifications, workshops, and networking sessions. “I have used many services, from the free courses on Coursera to the resume review resources and seminars. I also attend various meet-ups and programming via BSF,” says Brittany
Networking with a Purpose
Brittany received a lot of network connections and offerings, maximizing the connections to advance her career. “The most career-changing ones are the career fairs where I was able to secure my job and a sought-after security scholarship from Women in Cybersecurity and SANS University, where I have proudly made it to the final tier of the scholarship,” says Brittany.
Brittany took advantage of our member call to join WiCyS — our partner was offering FREE memberships for Blue Star Career members.
Other Perks as a Blue Star Careers Member
Brittany also participated in the Google Cyber Security Learning path, which offered bi-weekly meetups to expand awareness and build team community. Brittany said, “It was nice to network with others pursuing my career path.”
Thank you, Brittany, for sharing your career trajectory with our community, and we wish you all the best as you continue to strengthen and build your cybersecurity career!
