About Melanie


Bio

Hi, I'm an Information Security and Assurance graduate currently working at a small managed services provider (MSP). Previously, I was a Computer Science major. I studied C++ for two years, but I've used Python since high school and have used it for cybersecurity scripting. Currently, I'm studying for my CompTIA Security+ to solidify the knowledge I've gained through my education. I've been tinkering with electronics longer than I can remember, from self-hosted Minecraft servers to building...

Hi, I'm an Information Security and Assurance graduate currently working at a small managed services provider (MSP). Previously, I was a Computer Science major. I studied C++ for two years, but I've used Python since high school and have used it for cybersecurity scripting. Currently, I'm studying for my CompTIA Security+ to solidify the knowledge I've gained through my education. I've been tinkering with electronics longer than I can remember, from self-hosted Minecraft servers to building computers. Throughout school, I've used a variety of security tools, from FTK Imager and Autopsy for Digital Forensics, Metasploit for pentesting, and have familiarity with Linux (Kali, Mint, Ubuntu).
Professionally, I support primarily Windows systems, with the exceptions being MacOS. I assist users with troubleshooting Microsoft applications, Adobe Acrobat, and GSuite problems. This line of work involves explaining issues and solutions to users in a non-technical way.
However, I've also volunteered to help teach children (7 to 15 years old) hymns at a church once a week for the past 4 years. We mostly use the, "I sing a line, then you sing" format during our practices. This was in a group of around 15 children with another organist's supervision. I've been asked to lead an adult choir practice (16+) a few times.

Approved Subjects

Music Theory

Music Theory

I learned the organ, 'ukulele, and recorder as a kid and never put them down! Now I've picked up the guitar, singing, and music production to keep the creativity alive. I've played hymns and sung metal.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I got a degree in a STEM field and work with computer networks-- powers of 2 are baked into my brain. I still remember how to do math and I like thinking of them in terms of puzzles.
World History

World History

History is important since it tends to rhyme with current events. I've grown to appreciate history and want to keep learning from the past, from world history to lesser-known parts (such as pre-colonial Hawaiian and Filipino history and culture).
Writing

Writing

I've written a lot of papers on AI, information integrity, and fighting misinformation. Digital literacy and the use of AI as a tool, not a replacement, is important to me.
