What I'm looking for

I am looking for a supportive environment that fosters growth in cybersecurity, where I can apply my skills and contribute to team success.

I am a dedicated individual transitioning into the field of cybersecurity, having previously built a solid foundation in commercial properties and insurance sales. Currently, I am pursuing an occupational certificate in cybersecurity at Berea Technical College, aiming to leverage my diverse skill set in a junior IT role.

My experience as a Logistics Manager Trainee at KFFS Trucking Company has honed my organizational and communication skills, while my role as a Company Director at Lindany Transport has equipped me with valuable insights into business development and strategic planning. I am eager to apply my analytical mindset and problem-solving abilities in the IT sector.
