What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply network security and incident response skills, grow under experienced mentors, work in a collaborative security-focused culture, and take on responsibilities that expand my technical certifications and hands-on experience.

I am a Cyber Security Analyst with hands-on experience from internship roles, focused on network assessments, firewall configuration, and incident response. I bring practical skills using Kali Linux tools such as Nmap and WireShack, and foundational networking knowledge from Packet Tracer and Windows Command Prompt labs.

Across internships I executed vulnerability discovery and basic firewall policy implementations, contributing to improved security posture for small teams. My background in biomedical engineering gives me disciplined analytical skills and a methodical approach to problem solving.

I hold certifications including ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Lead Auditor and completed networking training through the Cisco Networking Academy. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor in Information Technology to deepen my technical and theoretical foundation.

I am committed to enhancing security protocols, protecting organizational assets, and continuously expanding my skills in risk management, IAM, DLP, and incident response to address evolving cyber threats.
