What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on cybersecurity role (SOC/security operations) to apply analytical skills, expand technical expertise, and drive detection, incident response, and compliance improvements.

I am a Science Department Coordinator and security operations professional transitioning into cybersecurity, recently certified in CompTIA Security+, CompTIA A+, and the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate. I bring over seven years of experience in educational leadership, security monitoring, and quality control.

I directed science curriculum delivery for 600+ students, increasing performance scores by 15% through data-driven interventions, conducted 20+ teacher training sessions, and managed laboratory operations with an AED 70,000 annual budget. In prior security roles I monitored CCTV and access control, logged incidents, and collaborated with response teams to reduce escalation times by 25%.

I have hands-on familiarity with tools such as Wireshark, Nmap, Kali Linux, Splunk, Metasploit and EDR platforms, and I apply strong analytical thinking to vulnerability assessment, incident response, and data protection compliance. I am eager to contribute my cross-functional experience and growing technical skills to a cybersecurity role focused on detection, response, and process improvement.
