Muzz Ahmed is a 2014 HS grad who currently works for one of the premier players in the tech industry. He was recently part of a team that created a new Virtual Reality headset that will revolutionize our ability to connect with one another online!

Muzz was initially on a pre-med track after high school, mostly due to well-intentioned advice from family and friends; however, he was always drawn to technology's ability to create change on such a massive scale and eventually the excitement of those possibilities caused him to redirect his path.

In this episode we dive into the early sparks that inspired him to pursue a career in tech, transferable skills he picked up working in cybersecurity, the importance of seeking experiential learning opportunities, and leveraging relationships with those who can help you get started.

We have no doubt that you'll enjoy our Season 2 finale with Muzz! Thanks to all for tuning in and we look forward to coming back with new content in February, 2023.
