What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for growth in cybersecurity, with a focus on incident response and threat detection.

I am a dedicated Cybersecurity Specialist with a strong academic background and hands-on experience in threat detection and incident response. Currently pursuing my Master of Science in Cybersecurity Technology at Hofstra University, I have maintained a GPA of 3.9, showcasing my commitment to excellence in this field. My journey began with a Bachelor of Business in Aviation Management, where I developed a solid foundation in analytical thinking and problem-solving.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with IT teams to enhance incident response systems, significantly reducing downtime and improving efficiency. My role as a Senior Assistant to the IT Manager at Hofstra University allowed me to streamline technical support ticketing systems, resulting in faster response times. Additionally, my experience as a College Assistant at York College provided me with essential skills in secure data management and conflict resolution, further solidifying my technical expertise.

I am eager to leverage my skills in threat detection, vulnerability assessment, and incident response to transition into a Cybersecurity Analyst role. My hands-on experience with tools such as Kali Linux, Wireshark, and Metasploit, combined with my ability to develop risk mitigation strategies, positions me as a valuable asset in strengthening cybersecurity measures for any organization.
