What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth in cybersecurity, values collaboration, and offers opportunities to tackle real-world security challenges.

I am a dedicated User Support Specialist with over 3 years of experience in technical support, end-user assistance, and system troubleshooting across various operating systems and platforms. I have a proven track record of efficiently resolving over 40 technical issues weekly and leading impactful initiatives, such as managing an OS upgrade for 300+ users in just 3 months. My strong communication skills and proactive approach to workflow improvements have consistently enhanced user satisfaction and driven operational efficiency.

Currently, I am pursuing my CompTIA CySA+ certification and have gained hands-on experience in cybersecurity through various projects and training programs. My technical skills include proficiency in Splunk, networking protocols, and security analysis, which I have applied in real-world scenarios during my training at Per Scholas. I am passionate about leveraging my knowledge to contribute to a dynamic cybersecurity team and help organizations strengthen their security posture.
