What I'm looking for

I am seeking a dynamic role in cybersecurity that offers opportunities for growth, collaboration, and the chance to tackle complex security challenges.

I am a dedicated Cyber Security Analyst with extensive experience in safeguarding critical infrastructure and sensitive data. My expertise lies in threat hunting, incident response, and security operations, and I am passionate about staying ahead of evolving cyber threats. Over the past several years, I have honed my skills in monitoring network traffic, investigating security breaches, and implementing robust security solutions.

At GE Lighting, I played a pivotal role in enhancing our security posture by conducting vulnerability assessments, penetration tests, and implementing tiered phishing campaigns that educated over 1000 employees on cybersecurity awareness. My proactive approach to security incidents has not only helped in mitigating risks but also in developing solutions to prevent future occurrences. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with IT teams and stakeholders to communicate security risks and vulnerabilities effectively.

With a strong foundation in technical support and a background in the U.S. Army, I bring a unique perspective to cybersecurity, combining analytical skills with hands-on experience in troubleshooting and maintaining communication systems. I am committed to continuous learning and professional growth, currently pursuing certifications to further enhance my expertise in information assurance.
