I stumbled on Nicole's videos while looking up stuff about Western Governors University (WGU). Was really impressed with the amount of information she shared about information technology, cyber security, and also the tech industry in general.
Her insight on college degrees, career experience, certificates, experience, internships, work experience etc as it relates to information technology and cyber security will be extremely valuable to anyone interested in these jobs.
