What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on security role focused on threat detection, incident response, and vulnerability management within a collaborative, growth-oriented team.

I am an Information Security Analyst with hands-on experience in threat detection, vulnerability assessment, and network security, grounded in both academic training and practical internships.

I have developed and implemented security policies, monitored systems with SIEM tools, and responded to incidents across cross-functional teams to strengthen organizational security posture.

My projects include security hardening for small business networks and internal network segmentation, where I used tools like Nmap, Nessus, Snort, pfSense, and Splunk to reduce risk exposure and improve audit outcomes.

I continue to advance my skills through industry certifications and focus on building secure, resilient systems using frameworks such as NIST, OWASP, and Zero Trust, while leveraging scripting and automation with Python, Bash, and PowerShell.
