Student Spotlight: Micah Evans | Gaston College

Meet Micah Evans, a second year student in the Networking and Cyber Defense program at Gaston College and a member of the Carolina Cyber Network (CCN). Micah did not begin his college journey planning on a career in cybersecurity. He started in general education, which ended up giving him a strong foundation that translated well into cyber defense. After taking a few classes, he realized he enjoyed the subject matter and decided to pursue cybersecurity more intentionally. One of the things Micah values most about the field is the number of pathways available. He has explored interests like system administration and SOC analyst roles, while still taking time to figure out what direction fits him best. As one of the first students to participate in the CyberSafe program, Micah gained experience in outreach and interpersonal communication. He learned that while technical skills are critical, being able to explain complex ideas in a clear and simple way is just as important. Micah’s advice to other students is to slow down and figure out what truly interests you before trying to learn everything at once. His journey reflects what CCN is all about. Building technical skills, developing communication, and giving students space to explore their future in cybersecurity.
