About

Hello! I'm Bernardo, I am an aspiring Information Security Intern with a passion for technology and cybersecurity. I earned my degree in Cyber Security from Illinois State University, equipping me with a strong foundation in the evolving world of cybersecurity.



During my journey, I had the opportunity to dive into the business field as a Technical Risk and Security Recruiter. This role allowed me to not only sharpen my communication skills but also develop a keen understanding of the business side of cybersecurity. It's all about finding the right talent to fortify organizations against threats, and this experience taught me the importance of bridging the gap between people and technology.



Throughout my college career, I found myself naturally gravitating towards leadership positions. Whether it was leading student organizations, organizing events, or working with peers on challenging projects, I've always thrived in roles that require initiative and a collaborative spirit.



Apart from my academic and professional pursuits, I'm deeply committed to community involvement. There's something truly special about giving back and making a positive impact. I believe that together, we can create a safer and more secure online environment for all.
