How HPU helped you get there:

HPU provided me with leadership and teamwork experience as an assistant resident director and resident assistant, positions I held since my freshman year. This set my resume apart and helped me develop skills to excel in the cybersecurity competitions I took part in as a student at HPU. I also visited the Office of Career and Professional Developmentfor resume help, and I participated in an internship panel hosted by the office.

Most impactful mentor at HPU:

My most impactful mentor at HPU was Roger Shore, associate professor of computer science. He was the reason I chose HPU, but also the professor I worked the most with through competitions and coursework in cybersecurity and computer science. His motivation pushed me to excel in his courses as well as the competitions I participated in. Thanks to his mentorship, I placed in the 99th percentile of four different semesters of the National Cyber League competition, led HPU to a first-place finish in the TracerFIRE competition, run by Sandia National Labs, and competed in the International Cyber League.

Most impactful moment at HPU:

My most impactful experience was serving as a captain on the varsity club rowing team my senior year. Working directly with my coach and other captains to help lead and inspire a new generation of collegiate rowers was something I looked forward to every single day, and it made the regattas we went to all over the East Coast even more rewarding.

How has HPUs inspiring environment contributed to your success?

With HPUs 99% outcomes rate, a recruiter seeing High Point University on a resume or LinkedIn is increasingly understanding the value of an education from HPU. Im sure this helped get my resume reviewed quicker at the jobs and internships I applied for.

The life skills I developed at HPU and have prepared me for success include resilience, critical thinking, problem-solving, effective communication, time management, self-awareness and flexibility.

Advice for underclassmen:

Apply for jobs and internships early. You dont have to wait until youre a junior or senior. I landed my first internship with the U.S. Department of Defense my sophomore year because I applied early and had a sharp resume.
