About

My name is Imani Noël and I'm a junior at DePaul University majoring in cybersecurity and minoring in computer science. I am currently in the pursuit of becoming a cybersecurity analyst. I have experience in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python. My senior year of high school I was selected into an internship program called St. Louis Centers for Advanced Professional Studies (STL CAPS) in the technology solutions and logistics branch. During this program, I worked with Oasis Digital, a local technology company, and developed a great sense of proficiency with common programs used by software developers. Ex: Git, Github, Jira, and Svelte. Aside from my technological experience, I've worked in the food industry and entertainment industry. I have years of experience with customer service, managing problems in a professional environment, and maintaining a strong sense of communication with team members.
