What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my cybersecurity skills while contributing to a team focused on protecting information assets and ensuring compliance.

I am a dedicated cybersecurity student currently pursuing a B.S. in Cybersecurity at DeVry University, with an expected graduation in Fall 2026. I hold a Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate and have over 10 years of transferable experience in enterprise sales, client-facing technology roles, and strategic account management. My passion lies in analyzing risk, supporting end users, and maintaining secure digital environments.

In my current role as a Business Development Executive at AT&T, I lead strategic technology engagement efforts, collaborating with cross-functional teams to implement secure product adoption strategies. My experience includes advising enterprise clients across the Eastern U.S. on compliance and data governance, using data analysis to mitigate contract risks, and improving internal documentation processes. I am committed to continuous learning and driven to help organizations protect their information assets and enhance their network defense.
