What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, values collaboration, and emphasizes cybersecurity innovation.

I am a recent cybersecurity graduate and a proud U.S. Army veteran, bringing strong experience in managing sensitive information and ensuring regulatory compliance. My academic background, combined with hands-on experience in cybersecurity operations, has equipped me with the technical knowledge and leadership skills necessary to drive continuous improvement in IT and cybersecurity environments.

During my internship at Intellectual Point, I supported strategic cybersecurity operations, enhancing network security posture through vulnerability assessments and penetration tests. My efforts increased incident detection rates by 25% and improved threat detection response times by 20%. I am passionate about utilizing my skills in data analysis and change management to contribute effectively to a dynamic team.

With a solid foundation in cybersecurity principles and a commitment to excellence, I am eager to leverage my skills in a challenging role that allows me to grow and make a meaningful impact in the field of IT security.
