GALION — The Community Foundation for Crawford County Electra Norwood, a 2020 recipient of one of the seventeen Doug and Renee Leuthold Scholarship awards.

Norwood, the daughter of Dale and Toni Norwood, is a 2020 graduate of Galion High School/Pioneer Career & Technology Center. She is attending North Central State College this fall and studying cybersecurity.

Norwood shared the inspiration behind the choice of her intended major.

“From a young age, I always loved tinkering with technology. My father was an electrical engineer who would always entertain my curiosity with science and computers. As I entered high school, I joined team 5413 Stellar Robotics, a FIRST Robotics competition team centered around teaching children grades K-12 STEM skills through building robotics. When I joined Pioneer’s I.T. support program, I knew I wanted to narrow down my choices in that specific industry, and on top of my passion for learning technology through Stellar, I decided cybersecurity was the perfect pick.”

Norwood also shared her career and life goals after graduation.

“After I graduate, I have two different plans depending on the state of the workforce for my field. I will either go into the workforce with my associate’s degree or continue my education at Western Governor’s University to obtain my bachelor’s degree and some vital certificates for the future.”
