What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth in cybersecurity, values collaboration, and offers opportunities to tackle real-world challenges.

I am a dedicated Computer Science student at the University of Colorado Boulder, specializing in Systems, Networks, and Security. My passion for cybersecurity drives me to train the next generation of professionals through my involvement with C Cubed, where I deliver workshops and engage with the community to enhance technical literacy.

Throughout my academic journey, I have developed a robust skill set in programming languages such as Python, C++, and Java, alongside hands-on experience in cybersecurity projects. Notable achievements include creating a network traffic analysis tool and a lobbying analysis tool, both utilizing advanced programming techniques and data analysis to address real-world challenges.

As an officer in the CU Cyber Club, I lead teams in ethical hacking competitions and foster collaboration among peers. My leadership in the National Cyber League has honed my ability to strategize and execute under pressure, achieving top rankings for our university. I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences in a dynamic cybersecurity role that values innovation and teamwork.
