What I'm looking for

I seek a role combining cybersecurity and network engineering where I can apply hands-on technical skills, support secure customer-facing solutions, drive risk reduction, and grow into expanded security leadership.

I am a cybersecurity-focused IT professional with 15 years of experience supporting Sales and Customer Service operations by delivering secure, technology-driven solutions. I combine hands-on network and security tooling knowledge with a business-aligned approach to identify vulnerabilities, enhance security posture, and support organizational resilience.

I hold CompTIA Security+ and recent NGT certifications, have completed 25 virtual labs and hands-on projects, and bring practical experience from sales and customer-facing roles where I drove revenue, trained teams, and improved customer experiences while prioritizing security and risk mitigation.
