What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level SOC Analyst or Cybersecurity Analyst role focused on threat detection, incident response, security monitoring, alert triage, log analysis, and security operations.

I've supported Windows and macOS users as a Freelance IT Support Specialist and previously at Public Storage, resolving hardware, software, connectivity, malware, and endpoint issues.

I built an isolated Home SOC environment using Wazuh, VMware, Windows, and Linux to centralize monitoring, analyze logs, generate controlled attack activity, and investigate security alerts. My graduate cybersecurity projects include digital forensic investigations, risk assessments, incident analysis, vulnerability evaluation, and applying NIST CSF and CIS Controls.

I'm prepared to contribute to an entry-level SOC Analyst or Cybersecurity Analyst role focused on threat detection, incident response, and security operations.
