About Me

About
Grace Lytle

My interest in computer science was sparked by a desire to help others. When my husband needed a website to connect with the music community for his trumpet studio, I set out to create a unique and impactful site. Rather than relying on a website builder, I learned HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. With guidance from my dad and sister, who are both computer science graduates, I successfully built the site. This inspired me to return to school and pursue Computer Science. Since returning, my enthusiasm for web development has grown, along with my understanding of the importance of cybersecurity.

In the Fall of 2023, a cryptography course solidified my interest in cybersecurity. It became apparent to me how crucial cybersecurity is, not only for web development, but for all digital platforms. My background as a trumpet player has equipped me with skills that directly transfer to the world of cybersecurity. The discipline, creativity, and attention to detail required of music translates seamlessly to securing cryptographic systems. I am excited for a career in this field, with a focus on contributing to a federal agency's mission of securing our nation's digital infrastructure.
