We all want a career that pays well and respects our experience.

But the vast majority of career changers feel stuck, overwhelmed, and too confused to take the next step.

Which is why so many talented professionals give up on the idea of breaking into cybersecurity. For many of us, we are struggling with:

Spending months researching and feeling MORE confused than when we started
Wasting thousands on certifications that don't lead to interviews
Wondering if we're “too old” or “not technical enough”
Applying to jobs and hearing nothing back

A Message From Dr. Rose

I believe your dream of a better career is not stupid. It's possible.

I know what it's like to feel stuck. Early in my career, I transitioned from software engineering to academia because I lacked proper mentorship. That painful experience drives my mission today.

You don't need to start over. You don't need to learn to code. You need the right guidance. I'm here to give you what I didn't have: a clear path, a proven system, and someone in your corner.
