What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an IT role where I can support users, keep infrastructure running, and grow my focus on security operations by monitoring and responding to threats.

At Tennessee College of Applied Technology, I analyze Fortinet firewall logs for acceptable use policy violations, manage Azure Active Directory onboarding and roles, and resolve escalated hardware, software, and networking issues.

I've supported Aerohive wireless infrastructure and Dell switches, deployed Windows provisioning packages, documented physical and logical networks, and maintained Ethernet cabling. Through self-directed penetration testing labs, I've practiced reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation, reporting, vulnerability documentation, and remediation mapping.
