What I'm looking for

I am seeking entry-level cybersecurity roles where I can apply security fundamentals, gain hands-on experience, and grow through mentorship and training in a collaborative, learning-focused team.

I am an ambitious computer security student with hands-on cybersecurity training, IT support certification, and practical experience in audit research and production environments. I have earned competitive scholarships and completed SANS coursework including SEC275 and SEC401, as well as the Google IT Support Professional Certificate.

In internship roles I researched audit documentation for a federal OIG cybersecurity directorate and compiled cybersecurity and workplace best practices used in final reports. I also gained hardware, soldering, and network analyzer experience assembling GPS antennas while maintaining compliance and production tracking.

I bring strong technical skills in Java and Python, fluency in Mandarin, and a proven record of academic excellence and recognition as a two-time National Cyber Scholar with Honors. I seek opportunities to apply security fundamentals and continued learning toward a career in cybersecurity.
