William has had a curiosity about computers since a very young age. While growing up not only did he become fascinated with video gaming and design but he also learned several things from his mother who worked in computer science. He got away from that passion while serving in the Armed Forces, but was able to get back into the field here at HGTC.
William grew up in Horry County and was already familiar with Horry-Georgetown Technical College when he began researching schools. The convenience and program offerings made enrolling an easy decision. He is taking advantage of the flexible hours and is currently enrolled in both the Computer Programming and Cybersecurity programs. William is also working as a Work Study student to help gain experience in IT around campus.
The growing need for cybersecurity experts will give William the opportunity to be employed in several different fields locally or around the country, and he looks forward to what is to come.
Congratulations, William, for being chosen as June’s spotlight student!
