“While I was teaching English, I had the opportunity to start a new cybersecurity program. This led to me getting my cybersecurity degree and a job offer which rejuvenated me professionally. I like the fact that there is always a new problem to solve, a new project to work on, and a new opportunity to learn and teach. Lots of places say they want working to feel like a family, but no place I’ve ever been has accomplished that for me quite like SAIC.”
