I completed my MS in Cybersecurity and Computer Forensics at Utica College. That may seem like a complete departure, but what it taught me was to be more analytical, more focused on the task and made me a much better researcher and writer. I tied the two industries together by writing my Capstone Thesis on "The Malicious and Forensic Uses of Adobe Software." I then converted my Word document into a 6x9 paperback book using that very same Adobe software. A complete and perfect circle. I consider myself an expert in: Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, and Dreamweaver as well as Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. I work on Macs, PCs, and even Linux. I am versatile and alway open to a challenge. Find out more at: www.macharyas.com
