Description
Hello Military members and spouses! I am Jay Sellen, a 25-year retired Navy Cyber Professional. I was enlisted as a Crypto Technician and then joined the Officer ranks as an Information Warfare Officer. I spent time at sea, overseas, and stateside as well. I excel in cyber operations and have been a Project Manager for 2 years supporting DoW cyber organizations. I would be more than happy to chat with you to discuss your many questions as you near your transition from military life to "the outside." I know it can be nerve-wracking at times trying to figure out how to maneuver in this new, uncharted space, but let me help you share my experiences and (dare I say) wisdom to help you navigate safely and land on solid ground. I have also earned my PMP, so I can share some tips on that as well. I look forward to hearing from you. All the best!

Jay has a wealth of knowledge and experience. He provided great insights and guidance regarding cybersecurity careers, the CMMC Certified Professional (CCP) role, and leveraging military experience in the civilian workforce. His perspectives on career development, industry expectations, and professional growth were informative, practical, and highly relevant. I greatly appreciate how he shared his real-world experiences and provided actionable advice. Our discussion was highly beneficial, and I look forward to keeping him updated on my journey and staying in touch.
