What I'm looking for

I’m seeking IT, Cybersecurity, or AI internships where I can contribute to day-to-day operations, utilize the technical skills I’ve developed in university, and learn from industry professionals in a fast-paced, detail-focused team.

I am a third-year cybersecurity student at the University of Tampa with a strong foundation in information security and business principles. I’m CompTIA Security+ certified and I currently work as a SOC Analyst Intern and an IT and Security Service Desk Student Supervisor.

In my SOC Level 1 Analyst role, I monitor and respond to Impossible Travel alerts using Microsoft Sentinel and Okta, investigate suspicious authentication patterns, and help contain threats through endpoint remediation with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. I also audit and sanitize Active Directory security groups to enforce least privilege, perform incident triage using SIEM/XDR telemetry, and support SOAR automation development—while staying detail-oriented, collaborative, and committed to continuous learning.
