What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a SOC, cybersecurity analyst, security operations, or junior security role where I can investigate alerts, support incident response, and continue developing hands-on security operations skills.

At Hancock Whitney, I triaged Microsoft Defender and Purview DLP alerts, reviewed employee activity, and supported incident resolution.

I investigated suspicious domains, documented findings for the security team, and performed block and allow-list actions in IronPort. I also worked directly with employees to resolve security events and reduce future phishing incidents.

I'm building on my Computer Science degree in Cyber Security through TryHackMe SOC, network security, penetration testing, and red teaming modules, where I rank in the top 5% of users. I'm CompTIA Security+ and Network+ certified.
