I’m looking for either a Cybersecurity Analyst/SOC role or an IT Support position where I can use my experience with security monitoring, alert investigations, troubleshooting, and user support while continuing to grow my skills in cybersecurity, systems, and IT operations as part of a strong team.

What I'm looking for
I’m a cybersecurity and IT operations professional with experience across SOC operations, technical support, and high-pressure environments. I’m known for structured problem-solving, clear communication, and calm execution under pressure.
In security roles, I perform security log review, incident analysis, vulnerability assessments, and alert triage to identify suspicious activity and reduce risk exposure. I implement MFA, access controls, and security alerting aligned with NIST, GDPR, and CCPA frameworks, while supporting endpoint security, troubleshooting, and operational continuity.
I bring a strong service mindset shaped by operational standards from The Walt Disney Company, plus an MSIT focused on cybersecurity and CompTIA Security+. With hands-on tools like Splunk, QRadar, CrowdStrike, and Wireshark, I combine threat detection and phishing analysis with enterprise IT troubleshooting across Windows, macOS, and network systems.
