What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, encourages growth, and allows me to leverage my cybersecurity expertise to enhance organizational security.

I am a dedicated cybersecurity and IT professional with five years of hands-on experience in technical support, network security, and system administration. My expertise lies in safeguarding digital assets, conducting thorough risk assessments, and implementing robust security solutions that align with industry best practices. I have a proven track record of collaborating across teams to resolve complex issues and enhance security postures using modern tools and frameworks, including SIEM, endpoint protection, and cloud platforms.

In my current role as a Data Analyst at Children’s Lighthouse, I develop insightful dashboards and reports that drive data-informed decision-making. My analytical skills have been instrumental in analyzing attendance and operational data to support IT initiatives while ensuring data integrity and compliance through routine audits. Previously, I served as an IT Support & Security Analyst at Transocean Logistics, where I monitored IT infrastructure and responded to security incidents, demonstrating my ability to manage and protect enterprise systems effectively.
