Kristen Nova

Cybersecurity Staff Consultant, Solutions3 LLC

I am a recent graduate of Fairleigh Dickinson University, where I received my bachelor’s in computer science with a concentration in Cybersecurity. I represented my campus as the only Student Ambassador studying Computer Science (2018-2022) and led as President of the FDU Association for Computing Machinery (2021-2022). These roles allowed me to help build the foundations of those pursuing careers in an ever-evolving field. The chance to use those leadership skills during a Summer Internship with Solutions3 LLC was incredibly appealing and educational. Now, I will be continuing my growth in knowledge and skills with Solutions3 LLC as a Cybersecurity Staff Consultant. I am excitedly looking forward to continuing working with the amazingly skilled team and involvements.

My proudest achievement was to be the first in my family to graduate from college.

Receiving my degree after enduring the pandemic felt emotionally momentous.
