What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a cybersecurity role centered on defensive operations—incident monitoring, threat detection, and log analysis—where I can deepen my networking/security fundamentals and keep growing into security analyst work.

I’m an aspiring cybersecurity analyst with a focus on defensive operations, backed by a strong foundation in networking and systems. I bring hands-on security work from home labs, including threat detection, log analysis, and system hardening, supported by incident monitoring and vulnerability scanning experience.

In my IT Support Specialist (Level 1 & 2) role, I supported endpoint configurations, connectivity troubleshooting, and account management while enforcing security policies. I monitored and troubleshot multi-facility systems, applied patching and security configuration adjustments, and documented incidents/resolutions to support root-cause analysis and a growing knowledge base.
