What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities, a collaborative environment, and the chance to tackle challenging cybersecurity issues.

I am a dedicated and solution-focused professional currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity at Miami-Dade College, with an expected graduation in Spring 2026. My academic journey is complemented by hands-on experience in cybersecurity, marketing, and accounting, showcasing my versatility and commitment to continuous growth. I have developed a strong technical skill set, including proficiency in Python, SQL, Java, and Kali Linux, which I leverage to address complex cybersecurity challenges.

In my role as a Lead Cyber Analyst at SaddleBag Exchange, I have successfully led efforts to identify and mitigate website vulnerabilities, ensuring the integrity and security of our systems. My leadership experience as a Platoon Leader and Sergeant in Army ROTC has honed my ability to communicate effectively and work collaboratively in diverse environments. I am passionate about applying my skills to enhance organizational security and drive positive outcomes.
