IT and Cybersecurity professional with a passion for problem-solving.
What I'm looking for
I am an IT and Cybersecurity professional with a strong foundation in hardware repair and a keen interest in cybersecurity practices. My experience as an Adjunct Instructor at ThriveDX allowed me to assist in delivering cybersecurity content and labs, where I engaged with over 20 students, helping them navigate complex topics and hands-on labs. I thrive in environments that challenge my problem-solving skills and allow me to grow alongside my peers.
My technical skills encompass a wide range of operating systems, networking protocols, and security tools, including penetration testing methodologies. I have successfully completed various projects during my education, such as setting up network communication capabilities for a pseudo-small business and troubleshooting Microsoft environments. My commitment to continuous learning is evident through my ongoing education in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance at Western Governors University, along with several industry certifications.
