Jayden Burrows

Aspiring Cybersecurity & Risk Analyst | GRC Enthusiast

Hi, I'm Jayden! I'm a Computer Science student at the University of Georgia, where I'm also a member of the Honors College. My passion for cybersecurity started with a curiosity about how to build resilient, compliant, and ethical technology. I believe the best security professionals are lifelong learners who care about people as much as they care about technology.
