"The Capstone course was a turning point for me. It took everything I had learned in class and gave me the chance to apply it in a real, meaningful way. Working on the Cybersecurity Awareness Project, I got to lead a team, collaborate with others, and see the direct impact of our work, and this was something that really boosted my confidence. It helped me grow not just technically, but also in how I communicate, problem-solve, and think critically. "
