Talk about impact, opportunity, and paving the way! We want to send a special thank you to the amazing folks at Campbell’s, Brian Roberts, Martin Bally, and the entire Infosecurity team for this kind gesture they have passed along to Lily.
During a Listen and Learn event here earlier this month, Brian and Martin announced that Campbell’s would be covering the entire cost of the CompTIA Security+ course and exam so that Lily can take further steps to discovering opportunities in info and cybersecurity.
Lily’s Hopeworks journey began in high school, where she joined the program and transitioned into the GIS program as an intern. She was a pivotal part of the early days of our GIS department working with several huge clients, like American Water. Lily’s work was so impressive she then moved from GIS Team Lead to Senior Team Lead!
“Thank you so much for the opportunity to pay it forward. We love what you are doing and look forward to the continued partnership.” - Martin Bally
