Karen Worstell, Senior Cybersecurity Strategist from VMware sits down to share her journey and discusses her experience as a woman in cyber. Starting her career off as a chemist, after graduating with a bachelor's degree in chemistry and a bachelor's degree in molecular biology, she took some time off to be with her family, she came back to a science field that was far more advanced than before she had left. She decided to go in another direction which led her to cyber. She started teaching herself programming and found she was very good at it. Now that she works in cyber, she says "You, you have to know yourself, know what you want, and know where you're, know where you plant your feet. I used to use a phrase a lot that said, uh, don't be afraid to take a stand but know where your feet are planted." We thank Karen for sharing her story with us.
