What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities in cybersecurity, where I can apply my skills and contribute to a team's success.

My name is Michael Siemer, and I am an aspiring cybersecurity professional currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Cybersecurity at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. I have a strong academic background, with a GPA of 3.4, and I am expected to graduate in May 2025. My journey in education has been complemented by practical experiences that have honed my skills in information technology and customer service.

Throughout my academic career, I have engaged in various lab-based simulations that provided me with hands-on experience in troubleshooting hardware and software issues. My coursework in Cybercrime has allowed me to research and analyze real-world cyber incidents, focusing on the legal and technical aspects of cybersecurity. Additionally, I hold a Testout PC Pro Certification, which further validates my technical skills and knowledge in the field.

In my professional experience, I have worked as a Car Detailer and a Caregiver, where I developed strong interpersonal skills and a commitment to quality service. These roles have taught me the importance of communication, time management, and building relationships with clients. I am eager to leverage my education and experiences in a cybersecurity role that allows me to contribute to protecting organizations from cyber threats.
