Taylor Bracone

Hi, my name is Taylor Bracone. I am a senior, studying Human-Centered Design and Development (HCDD) with a focus in Cybersecurity (CYBER) and a minor in Security Risk Analysis (SRA). I first discovered my love for technology in high school coding classes.

Since then, I have expanded my knowledge by learning different programming languages. My peers would describe me as passionate, driven, organized, and a leader. I am not afraid of new things and will tackle them wholeheartedly to further my knowledge.

I am currently seeking ultimately a full-time job following my graduation in May of 2023
