Imagine if you could land the Cyber Security job of your dreams or master a new Cyber skill and get that high-paying promotion to take care of yourself and your family.

Pretty amazing, right? 

But, what if you don't land that job or you're stuck in a dead-end Cyber position, unable to live the life you want and deserve? 

Trust me, I've been there and it's not a good feeling.

That's why I created a program to uplift and upskill myself and my clients for Cyber Security success.

It is the type of program that sets everything up for you and from there everything else is in your hands." - Hazel M.

Another spotlight on cyber professionals who are admired for what they are doing in our industry.

This week’s deep dive is going to be on the podcast Queen herself, Jordyn Short.

Jordyn is the Co-founder and Co-host of the Stats on Stats podcast with her wife Tiffany. It’s a show where they mix in black pop culture references, talk about the latest security topics, and bring in a unique guest to showcase their experiences. 

Jordyn is also a Senior Solutions Architect at Elastic.

One of the reasons I admire Jordyn is for her ability to always be herself, no matter the situation, time, or day. 

Just watch their YouTube channel or listen to her podcast, you won't regret it. I always come out laughing after it.

Ive had multiple opportunities to meet Jordyn in person since I'm from Tampa and that’s where she’s located. I really do love being around people who are smarter than me and know more than me. It allows me to learn and grow as a person and human being.

Especially in this field. 

They are one of our official media partners as well.

So, for anyone looking to follow, learn, and connect with an amazing leader in the cyber and media space definitely check out Jordyn.

Feel free to support Jordyn or share your stories in the comments!👇🏿
