Hi there! It looks like you may have taken a wrong turn on this thing we call the internet but I’m happy you found me.
My name is Shannon Poole and I try to pretend that I’m good at what I do but I’m mainly putting out fires and constantly learning. I’ve been lucky enough to work for some really smart people that allowed me the flexibility to learn new things. I’ve been a Military Police officer, Shipping/Receiving Clerk, Warehouse Selector/Forklift Operator, Business Analyst, SQL Programmer, Database Administrator, Exchange Administrator, F5 Administrator, and Manager. I’ve been all over the place with my work but Information Security is where I plan to settle in and to be specific, DFIR, is where I would like to end up.
My path is not conventional. I’ve worked in warehouses and corporate offices. I’ve worked midnight shits so I could get take college classes during the day. I’ve slept in my car, on the floor, on the couch so I could accomplish my goal. I’ve dug fox holes, and low crawled. The point of this is that while it might not feel like it at the time, you are making an effort to get to where you want to go and all you have to do is stay the course. There will be doubts for sure but know that it will all be worth it in the end.
Thanks for stopping by!
