About Me

-

 


Hello, my name is Jessi Ortega.

I’m a transfer student currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Information Science with a concentration in Information Security. I previously earned my Associate’s in Computer Programming and Analysis from Hillsborough Community College.

Originally from the Bronx, New York, I moved to Florida with my parents when I was in middle school. Both of my parents are from Venezuela, so I speak Spanish fluently. My passion for technology led me to pursue a career in this field.

Outside of school, I have a variety of hobbies. I enjoy fishing, playing video games, and watching and betting on sports. I’m also a big fan of trying new foods, though sushi and anything fish-related. I like staying active by going for runs/working out and I enjoy hanging out with friends for drinks.

In addition to my studies, I served in the Coast Guard. I also worked as a medical assistant for a general surgeon, gaining valuable knowledge in the medical field. However, I realized that my true passion lies in the tech industry, which is why I decided to shift my focus.

Currently, I work for PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), one of the largest professional services networks in the world. I also have a side hustle as an online reseller, buying and selling items on platforms like eBay and Amazon.

Thanks for reading!

While there are challenges like regulations and market ups and downs, its benefits make it really promising. It is now taken seriously by big companies, banks, and the government. My general feeling toward cryptocurrency is that it is a game changing technology that’s already reshaping finance and will keep growing. I know there’s people that don’t care for it because its new technology or they feel like they are late to the party, but that is not the case. Like any new tech, it has risks, but overall, I believe crypto is here to stay and will...
