“I have always had a passion for computers, and I recognize the critical need for professionals who can safeguard our world from growing cyber threats. Outside of academics, I am balancing school, a full-time job, and family. In my free time, I enjoy playing disc golf and staying active in my church community. I am truly honored to be selected as a recipient of the Jordan Kontor Memorial Scholarship. Your generosity not only eases the financial burden but also encourages me to continue pushing forward toward my goals in cybersecurity, even when the challenges feel overwhelming. Although I never had the privilege of knowing Jordan, I am inspired by his legacy of determination, energy, and entrepreneurial spirit. I will strive to reflect those same qualities in my own journey as I pursue a career in cybersecurity with the ultimate goal of building my own company.”

“I currently work in the accounting field, so my goal is to further my education to be able to become an accountant and further my career. I chose this path because I found I have a knack for working with numbers and working in the accounting field and I really enjoy the organization and attention to detail required in the accounting field. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my son and attending events in my community. Thank you so much for considering me and granting me this scholarship. It is a tremendous help in my ability to further my education and make a better life for my son and myself. Because of this scholarship, I will be able to finish my schooling without worrying about the financial burden of it, which is such a blessing to me as a single mother working full time while attending school. Your generosity is setting me up to create a better life for my son, and for that I am extremely grateful. ”
