Kallevig developed her passion for computer science through video games at a young age. She used video games as a form of entertainment, stress relief and a creative outlet. Eventually she became curious to how the games were programmed and coded.
Now, she hopes to parlay a childhood passion and an undergraduate degree into a Master of Science (MS) in Cybersecurity from SMSU. The newly launched 30-credit Cybersecurity curriculum was was approved by the Higher Learning Commission in the fall of 2021. The program covers everything from writing high-quality secure software, to integrating security into corporate information systems.
