\n\n\nIf you're gonna be part of a community of people that are like-minded, do try to show up and go be a part of the community. Contribute in some way. There's a lot of value that you can get out of it and there's a lot of value you can bring to it without even knowing that you're bringing value to it... There's been a lot of moments in my life where I've realized I've either said something or done something for someone and there's like a lightbulb that goes off, right? And you see that lightbulb go off for that person and you're like "Oh, wow, I actually helped that person get on their path to achieving something that they wanted to achieve" and that's really cool. It's really rewarding, and I would encourage anyone to go out and just be a part of a community even if it's not programming.

\n\n\nOne of the main things I love about my job is the community. Being able to go to these events and call it work when it's really just socializing and networking and building those connections. The same thing goes for flying. There's a really big community around aviation that people are drawn to for that reason. You go to these little events that are like the dev Meetups we go to, and I love that, so community building has always been a big thing for me... So it makes me very humble to say I get to do this for a living and I get paid to make these connections.

\n\n\nMy big advice is...work backwards. Because it's so easy to learn all these tiny little concepts in programming. And it's cool and you're excited while you're doing it but at the end of the day, it's not an end result. And so, my big advice is have your end goal. Figure out where you want to end up and then work your way backwards from there.

\n\n\nEven though these are huge advances to the technology community, we still have to be concerned and be aware of the cyber risks that are imposed because if we're not, then we're gonna just make ourselves a target for those types of attacks.
\n
Kelly and Karin chat with Ashley Oliver, Syracuse's resident cybersecurity Subject Matter Expert, about her AVR of choice, the upcoming 5G network in Syracuse, and how to get started on a career in cybersecurity.
