What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow in cybersecurity, contribute to meaningful projects, and work within a collaborative team environment.

I am an incoming Cybersecurity Consulting Associate for PricewaterhouseCoopers in Chicago, Illinois. My goal is to engage in long-term projects that will enhance clients' overall cybersecurity practices. With a strong foundation in cybersecurity principles and hands-on experience, I am eager to contribute to impactful solutions.

During my internship as a Cybersecurity Strategy Advance Intern, I actively contributed to a NIST cybersecurity framework assessment, ensuring organizational alignment with industry standards and effective risk management. Additionally, I participated in a DevSecOps assessment, embedding and enhancing security practices for our clients.

My previous experience as a Signal Support Systems Specialist has equipped me with proficiency in troubleshooting, repairing, and configuring communication systems. I have gained valuable insights into network and communication security, further solidifying my commitment to the cybersecurity field.
