🎓 Senior Feature: Dominic Rondeau
Waterloo Career Center / Dike-New Hartford
IT Cyber Club | Class of 2025
.
When Dominic Rondeau first joined the IT Cyber Club, he had no idea just how quickly it would turn into one of his favorite parts of high school. What started as a chance opportunity—thanks to teacher Joanna Seymour signing him up for Loocon—turned into a pathway of discovery, collaboration, and growth.
.
After attending the event and meeting mentor Kyle Kuhlers, Dominic was invited to join the Cyber Defense competition team. He spent the next month learning everything he could online before finally meeting his teammates in person for the big event in April 2024.
.
“My favorite memory was arriving at the hotel and ordering ramen with my teammates. It was the first time we all met face-to-face, and after working online for so long, it felt like everything came together,” Dominic shared.
.
From that ramen-fueled hotel night to hands-on learning in cybersecurity, Dominic has embraced the challenges and camaraderie of the club. After graduation, he’ll head to Iowa State University to major in Cyber Security and plans to continue building his skills by joining ISU’s cyber club.
.
Good luck, Dominic! The future is secure with you in it. 🔐💻
