My name is Anthony Fox, and I’m currently completing my degree in Cybersecurity at American Military University, with graduation expected this December. I bring nearly 10 years of experience in Human Resources and some IT roles through my service in the U.S. Air Force, and I currently hold a TS/SCI clearance. Looking back, I wish I had learned about programs like this earlier in my academic journey. While I initially planned to pursue certifications after graduation, I now realize how valuable it would have been to begin that process sooner. I'm currently exploring opportunities to build my credentials and practical skills, with plans to use the VA’s VR&E program to pursue graduate certificates through SANS Technology Institute. If that path doesn't work out, I'm considering a cybersecurity boot camp as an alternative. I came across this community while researching cybersecurity career paths and resources to help me grow professionally. I’m excited to learn from you all and hope to join this program once funding becomes available. Thank you, and I look forward to connecting! Very respectfully, Anthony Fox,
