What I'm looking for

I’m looking to safeguard systems and data in a challenging environment, using meticulous attention to detail to strengthen monitoring, incident detection, and data protection—while clearly communicating security strategies and building awareness within teams.

I’m a Cyber Security Analyst with over three years of experience focused on data protection and cyber security. I implement encryption and access control protocols, monitor firewalls and SIEM tools, and support endpoint protection and incident response activities to help safeguard systems and sensitive data.

In healthcare settings, I supported compliance with health data privacy regulations by upholding confidentiality, tracking and documenting patient vital signs, and escalating risks to the right teams. I also work with data analysis and reporting—aggregating and cleaning healthcare datasets, creating dashboards to illustrate trends, and partnering with clinicians to improve data accuracy and workflow efficiency.
