She also participates in proactive threat hunting activities to identify potential vulnerabilities before they are exploited.
Having the opportunity to work at both Textron and Spirit, Caroline says "Ennovar has stretched my corporate knowledge to a whole new level... it has granted me the ability to network, understand both business and technology in a new light, and has helped me understand the importance in adapting the ability of fast pace work that has improved my skill-levels immensely."
Before her education at WSU began, Caroline was at Missouri Western State University in Saint Joseph, MO. At the time, she was achieving a degree in broadcasting and media production management. Due to the Covid-19 lockdown her first year of college, she was unable to attend any in-person events or group meetings.
While Covid negatively impacted her first year, Caroline was actively freelancing and working on production shoots for collegiate sports and professional sports on ESPN. It was while working through the lockdowns of 2020 that she realized the security aspects of broadcasting, which led her into researching cybersecurity and beginning her new career path. During her time at Wichita State, Caroline has been involved in multiple clubs like WiCyS (Women in CyberSecurity) and WSU's Nationally Ranked Bowling Team.
