Haylee initially pursued a career in animation until she burned out, had a quarter life crisis, then pursued a career in cybersecurity.

In that time, she has created and taught content for *actual* beginners to learn cybersecurity, and is on staff for cybersecurity conferences Defcon and Cactuscon.
