What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for continuous learning in cybersecurity.

I am a dedicated Cybersecurity Analyst with proven expertise in detecting vulnerabilities and enhancing network security. My experience includes working with various tools such as Nmap, Kali Linux, and Metasploit, which have equipped me with the skills necessary to identify and mitigate security threats effectively. I am always eager to learn and adapt to emerging threats and technologies, ensuring that I stay ahead in this ever-evolving field.

Currently, I am gaining hands-on experience through my role at Quickstart, where I have developed comprehensive security plans and conducted risk assessments. My previous experience as a Barista has honed my customer service skills, allowing me to communicate effectively and work well in team settings. I am committed to maintaining a safe and efficient environment while delivering exceptional service.
