What I'm looking for

I am looking for a mission-driven cybersecurity role focused on insider threat detection, SIEM tuning, incident response, and professional growth within collaborative teams.

I am a motivated cybersecurity data analyst with over two years of hands-on experience as an Insider Threat Analyst supporting government customers. I leverage SIEM tools—especially Splunk Enterprise Security—to detect anomalies, automate workflows, and draft detailed investigative reports.

I led weekly triage sessions, reduced false positives by 25%, and decreased time-to-detection by 30% through improved detection logic and training. I have classroom training in networking, system administration, cloud solutions, ethical hacking, and defense/countermeasures, graduating Cum Laude with a 3.67 GPA.

I collaborate well with cross-functional teams, contribute to threat model and use-case development, and provide written and verbal communication aligned with national security protocols. I am eager to continue growing technical skills and advancing detection and response capabilities in a mission-driven environment.
