Hey, I’m Connor Wadlin! I’m a Junior here at George Mason University, where I am majoring in Cybersecurity Engineering.

I am on track to earn my Bachelor’s Degree and then a Master’s in Cybersecurity. I have been accepted into George Mason University’s Accelerated Masters program for Cybersecurity Engineering and I plan on pursuing a specialization in Artificial Intelligence. I currently work in a lab utilizing drone technology and AI to automatically detect flight errors and alert users. I plan on pursuing a variety of certifications after my Masters, as I plan on being a well-rounded Cybersecurity specialist!

While I do not have much work experience currently, I would love to change that. I am an amazing team leader as well as a public speaker due to my years of soft-skill training. I excel whenever I am working within a group and we can effectively delegate tasks based on good communication and trust!
