Daniel Carabello: A Journey of Academic and Spiritual Growth
Daniel Carabello's time at Saint Leo University was transformative in every sense. Earning both his bachelor's and master's degrees in Cybersecurity, Daniel experienced an immersive learning environment that extended beyond traditional lectures. His hands-on experience in networking, programming, ethical hacking, and digital forensics, as well as business-oriented aspects like policymaking, research, and professional communication, prepared him for a successful career in the field.
One of the most important aspects of Daniel's time at Saint Leo was his return to Christianity. The university's core values and Christian efforts brought him back to his faith, influencing not only his personal beliefs but also his approach to cybersecurity and professional interactions. Today, Daniel is employed as a cybersecurity compliance specialist at ConGlobal, an intermodal operator with locations across North America.
Bafou Sanogo: From Student-Athlete to Security Engineer
Bafou Sanogo joined Saint Leo University and the Men's Soccer team in 2013 from Paris, France. During his time as a student-athlete, the team won two Conference Championships for the school. On the academic side, Bafou earned both his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Cybersecurity and now works as a Security Engineer in the healthcare industry.
Bafou credits Saint Leo for providing him with the foundational knowledge needed for the enterprise world, thanks to close interaction with professors, high-tech classroom equipment, and a well-designed curriculum. He recently returned to campus to give a Tech Talk to the PenTesting Club, sharing his experiences and giving back to the Saint Leo community.
