What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters growth in cybersecurity, with a focus on collaboration and innovation.

I am a Security Operations Center (SOC) Analyst with hands-on experience in threat detection, incident response, and cybersecurity automation. My journey in cybersecurity began during my studies at Boise State University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. I have developed a strong foundation in secure system design and real-time monitoring, which I apply in my current role as a Junior SOC Analyst at Antares Capital LP.

In my professional experience, I have successfully monitored and responded to real-time security events using Microsoft Sentinel and ServiceNow. I have a proven track record of investigating alerts related to phishing, malware, and insider risk management. My technical skills include proficiency in Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Python, which I leverage to drive process automation and improve security outcomes. I am passionate about collaborating with cross-functional teams to enhance security infrastructure and operational efficiency.
