What I'm looking for

I am seeking an entry into a SOC or incident response role where I can apply hands-on testing skills, develop under experienced teams, and grow into senior cybersecurity positions.

I am an aspiring cybersecurity analyst with hands-on SOC and penetration-testing project experience, trained in Nmap, Wireshark, Hydra, and OSINT techniques. I transitioned from hospitality leadership after completing a Cybersecurity Certificate, CompTIA Security+, and technical labs, and I am pursuing an MSc in Computer Science (Cybersecurity) with a predicted First Class Honours.

I have applied NIST frameworks in incident response exercises and capstone work, producing incident reports and reducing simulated attack vectors by 30%. My 15+ years managing operations and teams inform strong communication, problem-solving, and process-improvement skills that complement my technical growth in vulnerability management, SIEM log analysis, and threat detection.
