To Start. Why ?
My name is Jalen Echols I am a recent graduate from the University of Colorado — Colorado Springs. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity Management. I chose this degree for numerous reasons. The main one was because well my computer science program would of have me graduating in 6 years, which is about the time for a masters. When I was unsure of what degree to pursue, my university offered a new scholarship program for those majoring in Cybersecurity management. Of course, this was a plus, however I did my research and found it was a growing field and decided to pursue this because of the growth and flexibility of this field. Instead of 6 years I graduated within five years. I’m happy with the decision I made because I don’t personally like just coding and cyber security fits my career interest and personality a lot more. This is not as important on why I decided to start writing blogs. There is a short answer and a long one, the short one is to express my experiences while venturing into content creation.

The long answer is to show the work I have accomplished and build connections while engaging with people either trying to get into the field or already in the field. I hope as I continue to advance in my career, I can help people with the content I create. I will center most of my content on what I have experience and so a lot of what I talk about will be heavily subjective. My career interest falls in between cyber/cloud security so if you have any tips or recommendation please share.
Overall, this is just the start and once I feel comfortable with blogging and get further into content creation like YouTube and TikTok (unless it gets banned). Thank you for reading my first article!
