Hello, I’m RaymondJames Gallant, a cybersecurity student at Eastern New Mexico University and a 2025 MATE intern. I’ll soon be embarking on a cyber internship aboard the RV Sikuliaq, where I’ll be learning firsthand how cybersecurity supports maritime research and operations. I’m passionate about protecting critical infrastructure and excited to explore the intersection of technology and ocean science. I’ll be using this blog to document my experiences, growth, and reflections throughout the journey—thanks for following along!
