What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on cybersecurity role focused on penetration testing, incident response, and threat detection in a collaborative, learning-focused team.

I am a cybersecurity analyst with hands-on experience in penetration testing, incident response, threat detection, and vulnerability assessment. I combine practical offensive-security labs, CTF challenges, and structured training to strengthen system defenses.

I have executed full penetration tests (DVWA), built automation scripts (Python wrapper for Nmap), and performed network diagnostics with tools like mtr and Wireshark. My work emphasizes clear documentation and actionable remediation recommendations.

Beyond technical work, I have managed social media operations and supported users in cyber café and customer-facing roles, demonstrating strong communication and customer service skills. I communicate complex security findings clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

I am committed to continuous learning—completing industry training such as CyberGirls Fellowship, OWASP/IAM fundamentals, Cisco security courses, and LinkedIn Learning certifications—and to contributing to community cybersecurity awareness and policy dialogue.
