Taylor Atkins I was interested in cybersecurity, and I didn't know very much about it. I took Security+ with a professor who was passionate about the topic and that further sparked my curiosity in the field. I knew I wanted a degree that would allow me to have a stable, growing career that also paid well. Taylor Atkins Cybersecurity Major
