Years ago, I was told I would never be able to hold a full-time job or be a functioning member of society—all because of my mental health. But I learned how to ask for help, accept myself and use obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) as a unique strength to thrive in my career as an ethical hacker.

  • Identify what you need from your employer to thrive at work
  • Mental health resources that are available to everyone
