I’m a detail-oriented Information Systems & Analytics graduate currently pursuing an M.S. in Cybersecurity, and I’m focused on translating real-world security operations into SOC-ready investigations. I bring hands-on experience monitoring security systems, documenting incidents, and supporting risk mitigation through disciplined reporting.

As a Security Supervisor at Metro One LPSG (M1 Global), I monitor CCTV, access control systems, and security alerts in real time—mirroring Tier 1 SOC workflows by identifying anomalies, triaging events by severity, and escalating when needed. I maintain chain-of-custody through detailed incident reports while supervising compliance with safety and incident response procedures across shifts.

I’ve also supported technical and data-driven work through internships and university roles. At the Pennsylvania Treasury Department, I cleaned, analyzed, and visualized program data in Excel and Power BI to improve marketing efficiency, and I helped improve data accuracy and accessibility through PC configuration and network support.

I’m motivated to join a SOC, IT infrastructure, or cybersecurity operations team where I can contribute to continuous monitoring, vulnerability assessment fundamentals, and incident documentation. I hold a Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate, and I’m advancing CompTIA Security+ and Network+ while building strong hands-on operational readiness.
