Against all odds, Christine Izuakor has earned the right to be called Dr. Izuakor on December 16, 2016.
According
to her, she graduated with a PhD in Security Engineering and became the
youngest and first ever African American at her university to achieve
that feat! In the same year, she became the vice president and
co-founder of Gen Trend at United Airlines.
She was published in numerous international journals, and traveled to 19
cities across 10 countries – all while working a full-time job on the
cyber security team of a Fortune 100 company, in which she recently
received a promotion. She described her achievement with the caption:
"I started my PhD program at age 23 and at the time was told I was too
young, too naive and too inexperienced to contribute anything to my
industry. But, I stood by my dream and turned doubt into motivation. To
anyone who has been taught that it’s unrealistic to dream, I assure you
that it’s indeed okay to dream big. With hard work and dedication, we
can defy all odds and shatter ceilings. Dare to dream, and be brave
enough to execute.”
