What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills and offers growth opportunities in cybersecurity.

I am a dedicated Cybersecurity student with a strong foundation in IT Security, Networking, and computing research. Currently pursuing my Bachelor of Science in Information Technology at the University of North Alabama, I have gained valuable experience through internships that have honed my skills in security, troubleshooting, and system management.

During my time as an IT Security Intern at Huntsville Hospital, I played a crucial role in enhancing the organization's cybersecurity posture. My responsibilities included monitoring network traffic for suspicious activity, analyzing security logs, and assisting with vulnerability assessments. I have also contributed to significant projects, such as developing a scalable database solution using MariaDB on Google Cloud and implementing a Physics-informed Neural Network to model structural failures.

My academic achievements, including being on the President’s List and Dean’s List multiple times, reflect my commitment to excellence. I am eager to leverage my skills and knowledge in a challenging cybersecurity role where I can contribute to protecting information systems and enhancing security measures.
