Real Learners. Real Confidence. Real Change.

Before cybersecurity, Liz Gore spent 15 years teaching film and theater. She never saw herself as “technical.”

That changed after she discovered SANS, took her first course, and realized she had what it takes.

“If there’s a curious spark in you – chase it. You can do this.”

Liz’s journey shows that you don’t need a tech background to succeed in cybersecurity. SANS helps career changers and professionals from any field build the skills, confidence, and mindset to thrive.
