Aspiring cybersecurity analyst with expertise in vulnerability management.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated cybersecurity analyst currently pursuing a Master of Science in Cybersecurity with a concentration in Cyber Operations from Pace University. My academic journey has equipped me with a robust understanding of cybersecurity principles, incident response, and vulnerability management. I have hands-on experience in deploying security frameworks and tools, including Splunk and CrowdStrike, to enhance organizational security.
During my internship at the New York City Department of Finance, I supported vulnerability management and incident response efforts, significantly improving workflows and access control processes. My academic projects, such as developing Python scripts for SQL injection detection and deploying Splunk for real-time threat detection, showcase my ability to apply theoretical knowledge to practical challenges in cybersecurity.
