What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters continuous learning and growth in cybersecurity.

I am a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual with a strong foundational understanding of cybersecurity principles. My knowledge has been gained through the Cisco Networking Academy's Junior Cybersecurity Analyst and Ethical Hacker programs, as well as courses in Linux and Python essentials. I am eager to transition my IT background into an entry-level Cybersecurity Analyst role, where I can contribute to threat detection, vulnerability assessment, and incident response efforts.

Currently, I am pursuing the CCST Cybersecurity certification and actively taking classes in CompTIA A+, Python, Linux, and Ethical Hacking. I am passionate about continuous learning and dedicated to staying ahead of the evolving cyber threat landscape. My commitment to professional development is complemented by my strong soft skills, including flexibility, attention to detail, and excellent communication abilities.
