What I'm looking for

I am looking for an entry-level cybersecurity role that fosters growth and collaboration.

I am a recent graduate with a B.S. in Computer Science, specializing in Cybersecurity from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. With a strong foundation in network security, threat analysis, and risk management, I am passionate about applying my academic training in a practical setting. My GPA of 3.78 and recognition as Summa Cum Laude reflect my dedication and hard work throughout my studies.

During my time at university, I participated in various projects, including developing a full-stack web application for tracking sports statistics and programming a UFactory robot to automate digital line art drawing. These experiences honed my skills in programming languages such as Python, Java, and PHP, as well as my proficiency with security tools like Wireshark. I am currently pursuing my CompTIA Security+ certification, expected in September 2025, to further enhance my cybersecurity expertise.

In addition to my academic achievements, I have gained valuable experience in customer service roles, where I developed strong teamwork and communication skills. I am eager to join a cybersecurity team where I can contribute my knowledge and grow professionally while tackling real-world challenges in the field.
