[celebration:new_certification]Has successfully verified **ISC² CC (Certified in Cybersecurity)** (ISC²)
Love this platform that is new to me. Anyone interested feel free to view my resume online, cause let's be honest, bullet points on your resume just don't tell the story of what you accomplished! I've been in IT Management for over 15 years and Cybersecurity since 2019. Started with Sec+ now a candidate for my CISSP :-)
