What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply OSINT and investigative skills to support victim advocacy and intelligence-driven public safety, within collaborative, mission-driven teams that offer training and growth.

I am a criminology and criminal justice student at Arizona State University with specialized training in OSINT and human trafficking identification through the McAfee Institute and ASU programs. I combine academic study with practical, real-world investigative experience.

I have served as an OSINT investigator with Guardian Group - Project 1591 and Skull Games - Task Force, completing required training and passing practical exams that involved identifying individuals from escort ads and conducting surface-web investigations.

My professional work includes administrative support, researching real estate trends, assessing area crime and safety concerns, monitoring social media, and conducting background checks. I have also bought and sold online through platforms such as eBay and Poshmark, developing investigative attention to detail and transactional analysis.

I thrive in collaborative environments where research, empathy, and teamwork drive impact, and I am committed to victim advocacy and building safer communities through actionable intelligence and rigorous case research.
