What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to grow in cybersecurity, focusing on hands-on experience and collaboration in a dynamic team environment.

I'm a dedicated cybersecurity student at the University at Albany, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity. With a GPA of 3.3, I have excelled in relevant coursework such as Information Security and Assurance, Network Security, and Penetration Testing. My commitment to academic excellence has been recognized with Dean's Letters of Commendation for two consecutive years, and I have been nominated for the National Society of Leadership and Service.

In addition to my academic achievements, I have developed a robust skill set in cybersecurity and networking, including risk assessment, incident response, and vulnerability scanning. I have hands-on experience with security tools like Wireshark, Nessus, and Metasploit, and I am proficient in programming languages such as Python and JavaScript. My participation in cybersecurity competitions has honed my practical skills, allowing me to apply ethical hacking techniques effectively.
