Desire to Protect Vulnerable Youth Motivates Cybersecurity Student

Rossana De Gaspari, a student in MET’s Master of Science in Criminal Justice program, is featured as part of the Boston Globe’s “Aging Strong” series, which spotlights the achievements of those who continue to set ambitious, fulfilling goals as they get older. De Gaspari, a former school teacher who began to pursue her advanced education after her own children neared adulthood, told the Globe her inspiration to study at MET came after seeing Director of Cybercrime and Cybersecurity Dr. Kyung-shick Choi deliver a lecture on the ways children are vulnerable to cybercrime. “I feel like there’s a mission to go out there and really help these children,” she said.
