What I'm looking for

I am looking for an internship that allows me to apply my cybersecurity knowledge and grow in a supportive environment.

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented cybersecurity undergraduate student currently pursuing a BSc in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance at Western Governors University. With certifications in CompTIA A+, Network+, and Security+, I have developed a strong foundation in networking concepts and security principles. My academic journey has equipped me with the necessary skills to understand and navigate the complexities of cybersecurity.

Throughout my studies, I have engaged in various lab projects that allowed me to configure and manage simulated network environments. I have hands-on experience with firewalls, SIEM tools, and IDS/IPS, enabling me to identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities effectively. My passion for cybersecurity drives me to continuously learn and adapt to the evolving landscape of threats and defenses.

I am eager to leverage my knowledge and skills in networking, cybersecurity, and cloud governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) as I seek internship opportunities. I am committed to contributing positively to a team and enhancing my practical experience in the field.
