What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a remote cybersecurity role focused on risk management, incident response, and IAM where I can apply government-grade defense experience, continue certifying, and help a security-first organization protect its assets.

I am a bilingual cybersecurity analyst with over five years defending government systems, specializing in cyber risk management, incident response, and compliance. I translate technical security concepts into clear guidance for diverse teams in English and Spanish.

I have led remote security operations for 200+ users, implemented multi-layered authentication and endpoint protection, and authored SOPs and onboarding materials to ensure compliance across distributed teams.

My work reduced phishing-related incidents by 27% and maintained zero breaches during remote transitions by designing controls for offsite endpoints; I also coordinated remote incident response and digital forensics during government-wide events.

I proactively upskill through certifications (Microsoft Cybersecurity Analyst, Fortinet, Azure AD/IAM, ethical hacking) and use data analytics (Power BI) to drive reporting and continuous improvement. I seek to apply my hands-on, self-driven approach to protect digital assets in a remote-first environment.
