What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters growth in cybersecurity and networking, emphasizing teamwork and innovation.

I am a dedicated and hard-working leader currently pursuing a degree in Cybersecurity with a focus on networking systems and architecture. With a GPA of 3.6 and ten industry certifications, I am committed to enhancing my skills in cybersecurity and networking. My experience includes working in a command center at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, where I monitor integrated systems and ensure the proper functioning of automated tools.

In addition to my technical skills, I have held leadership roles, such as serving as the President of FBLA, where I led my chapter to national recognition. My hands-on experience includes a significant internship at Salt River Project, where I implemented logistics for automatic valves and shadowed specialists in hardware and software troubleshooting. I am eager to explore opportunities that will allow me to grow as a leader in the cybersecurity field.
