What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an entry-level SOC role to apply my technical skills in SIEM tools and threat hunting, strengthening log analysis and incident response workflows to protect organizational assets and improve detection of suspicious activity.

I’m a detail-oriented SOC Analyst with an academic background in Criminology, bridging criminal theory with digital threat detection. Through simulated lab environments and remote virtual internships, I built a strong investigative mindset for spotting suspicious activity and supporting security operations workflows.

I’ve performed hands-on log analysis, alert monitoring, and defensive techniques for incident response readiness, including network traffic monitoring and anomaly detection using Wireshark. I’m also experienced with SIEM & security tools (Splunk basic) and threat hunting workflows, and I’m seeking an entry-level SOC role to apply these skills to protect organizational assets.
