What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an entry-level cybersecurity role where I can apply threat detection, incident response, Python automation, and SIEM skills while protecting sensitive data and growing within a security team.

I've built hands-on cybersecurity experience through Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate labs, analyzing system logs, identifying attack vectors, and writing incident response reports aligned with NIST guidelines. I also use Python to automate log filtering and investigate unauthorized access attempts.

In my current roles, I manage sensitive financial transactions, conduct compliance-focused document audits, verify identities, and protect access to payment data. I bring experience safeguarding high-stakes operations, supporting audit readiness, and maintaining data integrity under pressure.
