What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a dynamic organization that values security innovation and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a Navy Veteran with a strong background in Information Systems, dedicated to leveraging my skills in cybersecurity to resolve investigations and serve clients effectively. My proactive and detail-oriented approach has equipped me with problem-solving and internet researching skills that are essential in today's fast-paced digital landscape.

In my recent role as a SOC Analyst at Leidos, I managed and resolved SOC tickets within SLAs, utilized OSINT tools for investigations, and collaborated with clients to gather necessary information. My commitment to continuous improvement led to enhanced security event analysis and incident response recommendations, ensuring compliance with security policies.

Throughout my career, I have developed competencies in threat hunting, log analysis, and network infrastructure support. I am eager to bring my expertise to a forward-thinking organization where I can contribute to enhancing security measures and protecting valuable data.
