What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster growth in analytics and cybersecurity.

I am a dedicated and analytical student majoring in Business Analytics and Professional Information Systems at the University of South Florida, with an expected graduation in May 2026. My academic journey has been complemented by my enrollment in a cybersecurity course, where I successfully passed the CompTIA Security+ certification exam on July 2nd, 2025. This achievement has significantly strengthened my expertise in cybersecurity.

Beyond academics, I pride myself on being a strong problem solver and a fast learner, excelling in both independent and team-based environments. My ability to adapt and analyze complex challenges allows me to contribute effectively to dynamic work settings. I was honored with the Britany Barthle Sportsmanship Award from the Pasco County Beef Committee in 2022, which highlights my dedication to teamwork and integrity.
