In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde sits down with Sara Dorris, a data & cybersecurity professional about the moments and mindsets that shaped her path into data analytics and cybersecurity. What was she like before the job titles: a builder, an organizer, a detective, or a storyteller? Who first sparked her curiosity about technology, business, and security? Sara reflects on the hard and soft skills she carried from the University of South Florida (Go Bulls!), the advice she'd give her college self, what Big Data taught her about risk, decision-making, and AI's evolving role in data science. They also zoom out to the human side of tech: how do you stay security-aware without living in paranoia, what personal tech boundaries actually help, and what's her take on social media in today's attention economy? Plus, Sara shares three essential skills for breaking into analytics/cyber, one trap to avoid, and practical guidance for career switchers coming from fields like healthcare or the social sciences.
