Bio

Hello! My name is Alexandria Chavez and I am currently a Senior at Bay Path University who is focusing on cybersecurity - digital forensics. I am a full-time student and a full-time employee at a healthcare company. I am a project manager with over six years in project management. Cybersecurity is a field I hope to break into and provide expertise in a way that will protect and secure an organization. In general, I love showing people and organizations what technology can do for them. There are so many possibilities it can improve any business if used to its best ability. Whether that is performing system analysis, uncovering new business growth, bringing a new customer experience with enhanced UX, protecting individuals, or managing a new project. My goal is to support and unlock new opportunities with the use of technology and cybersecurity.
