About Me.
Hello, and welcome to my e-portfolio!
Although this site was originally designed to be a final project for the course Political Communication and Deliberation, I hope to use it as a platform for exploring my academic and personal growth. I want to show both my professional and casual writing styles as displayed through the differences between my Immigration Report and Blog Samples. A self proclaimed renaissance woman, my eclectic interests include photography, language, literature, psychology, and programming. This site will combine all of these interests, serve as a platform for updating a report from SRA 111, "America and the Immigration Goliath", as well as provide a general overview of my work throughout my academic journey at Penn State.
Currently, I am a sophomore at the Pennsylvania State University studying Security and Risk Analysis with a concentration in Social Factors and Risk. Since Security and Risk Analysis is a major only offered at Penn State, I would like to provide a brief summary of the major as well as the concentration I chose. Security and Risk Analysis has three focus levels: Personal, Enterprise, and National. Students in this major strive to develop skills that will secure data and communications on all three of these levels through studying both the technological and psychological reasoning behind attacks. Students in this eclectic major combine language, analytic skills, technology, business, psychology, and law to a cacophony of careers in security, privacy, and intelligence. The specific social factors and risks option leans more heavily on the legal and psychological aspects of terrorism and crime, which a concentration on the role of technology in security.
The Social Factors and Risk option is described in more depth on the College of IST's homepage:
"In this option, students explore the psychological and sociological causes of terrorism and crime, and how information technology is transforming each. In the classroom, students work on teams in which they role-play both terrorists and criminals and the intelligence and security officers combating them. This option also examines the privacy policies and legal regulations within companies and the government. Students learn to critically read privacy policies and understand government regulation so they can help improve their own privacy policies and ensure users that the data they provide is secure."
Following graduation, I plan to obtain a Master's in International Development or National Security and work for a government agency in order to serve my country.
