What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration and innovation in cybersecurity.

I am a dedicated cybersecurity professional with extensive experience in leading security initiatives that enhance identity access management and strengthen endpoint protection. My hands-on approach to securing cloud and hybrid environments has allowed me to implement practical security measures that effectively respond to threats and drive improvements in day-to-day operations.

Throughout my career, I have successfully collaborated across teams to develop and implement security protocols, significantly decreasing unauthorized access events. My role as a Cybersecurity Engineer at State Farm Insurance has equipped me with the skills to define endpoint hardening standards and optimize security controls for Microsoft 365 and Azure Sentinel, ensuring robust protection for networks.

With a strong commitment to organizational goals, I am passionate about building secure, resilient systems. I have a proven track record of automating security processes and providing expert guidance on best practices, which has strengthened my organization's overall security posture. I am eager to continue my journey in cybersecurity, contributing to innovative solutions that safeguard critical assets.
