What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovation in cybersecurity.

I am an aspiring cybersecurity professional currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems with a focus on Cybersecurity at DeVry University. My education has provided me with a strong foundation in network security, risk management, and ethical hacking. I have hands-on expertise in penetration testing, incident response, and data analysis, utilizing tools like Metasploit, AWS Cloud Services, and Python to identify and mitigate cybersecurity threats.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a proven ability to collaborate effectively in team environments, manage projects efficiently, and troubleshoot IT security issues with precision. My unique approach combines a hacker’s mindset with a defender’s discipline, allowing me to proactively identify and mitigate vulnerabilities before they escalate. I am passionate about contributing to a secure digital landscape and continuously enhancing my skills in this ever-evolving field.
