8Hello, I'm dish.

10My main focuses are cybersecurity, system administration, and user experience. I enjoy building
11things from scratch, tinkering, and try to deeply understand the tools I work with. {.p-note}
12
13Currently, I'm a student at a university in the United States, working towards a Bachelor's Degree
14in Cybersecurity.
15
16However, my personal interests lie slightly closer to networking and system administration rather
17than pure cybersecurity.

19I've run my own homelab and servers for years(in fact, this website is hosted on one of them!), and
20they've been a very enjoyable experience to maintain.

22In my personal life, I'm a {{ await comp.flag_text({flag:"trans"}) }} woman, and I spend lots of
23time advocating for trans rights in the spaces I'm in. I feel very strongly that trans rights are
24human rights, and do my best to uplift all voices, though I am not perfect.

26Find more about my projects on the [[projects]] page, or read my [[blog/index.md|blog]], as I've put
27a lot of time into both. Finally, I do a lot of [[volunteering]], especially for charity marathons!
