I was the classroom teaching assistant for the Techgirls 2019 Cybersecurity Workshop at Virginia Tech, Here is the feedback from the course instructor, Dr Kendall Giles about my work. Original review is available on Linkedin.

 

"Sarang was my classroom assistant for my Cybersecurity Workshop at Virginia Tech’s TechGirls 2019. TechGirls is an international summer exchange program to inspire young women from Central Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, and the US to pursue careers in science and technology. The cybersecurity course was very intense, and Sarang helped answer student questions and provide guidance during the class labs. In particular he shared his expertise in helping the students use and better understand the Kali Linux operating system in our virtual machine labs. Thank you Sarang for your help and for giving students a positive experience with cybersecurity and Virginia Tech"
