What I'm looking for

I seek an early-career security role focused on automation, policy implementation, incident detection/response, compliance, and opportunities for mentorship and professional growth.

I am an information security graduate with hands-on internship experience in threat research, automation using Python and Bash, and implementation of security policies aligned to ISO/IEC 27001 and NIST. I have contributed to IT risk assessments, compliance activities (SOC 2, ISO 27001), and led security awareness training on phishing and social engineering.

I bring practical Blue Team training, volunteer experience coordinating AI tools adoption and training, and a record of recognized academic achievement through the Parla Scholarship. I seek roles where I can apply automation, policy development, and incident detection to strengthen organizational security posture.
