“Being able to impact the lives of budding cybersecurity analysts  and to help embolden them to apply to Cybersecurity jobs confidently makes me feel proud,” said Melanie Dyer, Udacity global mentor.

How Melanie Became a Part of Udacity’s Mentor Community

“I needed help getting ahead with my career and saw that Udacity was offering exceptional courses. I visited their website and applied for a job posting and a Udacity recruiter contacted me shortly after. I noticed that the jobs that were available at Udacity were in alignment with what I wanted to do in my career,” said Melanie.

 She interviewed for the Security Analyst and Security Engineer mentor positions and  landed the job. “I was offered the job after clearing a number of assessment stages and successfully completing Udacity requirements through a rigorous process of selection.
