She can&#8217;t wait to learn more about cybersecurity and what a career in cybersecurity would look like for her. She is also very excited to meet what kind of people are in this field and what kind of people are interested in this field.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 200;\">As a rising sophomore at DC international school, Marina has actively gotten the principles to list every quarter (grade average of 5.5+ in IB grading) and will be taking the highest level of Spanish DCI offers next school year. Marina is also proud of her extracurricular activities, she is part of the multi-media club a club that focuses on creating school spirit, she mentors a robotics team in VEX IQ her team was able to make it to the 2023 world championships this year, she is part of CAP (civil air patrol), she regularly volunteers at her school&#8217;s tech desk helping repair computers and has also been fencing for about 2 and half years now.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 200;\">In the future, Marina would like to study cyber security\/IT or marine biology. Her interest in Cybersecurity started when she got the offer for the internship and her interest in IT started when she started helping repair computers in 6th grade at her school&#8217;s tech desk. Her interest in Marine biology comes from her mother&#8217;s love and interest in it she wants to explore a career path her mom wasn&#8217;t able to study because of the limited resources she had growing up. Marina aspires to learn more about both career options and what they bring to the table before making a decision on what she wants to pursue.
