What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and enthusiastic bilingual professional currently pursuing a career in cybersecurity. My strong command of both Spanish and English, coupled with excellent communication skills, enables me to effectively convey complex ideas in a clear and concise manner. I am passionate about building rapport with individuals and fostering supportive environments, whether in education or professional settings.
Currently, I am a full-time cybersecurity student, having completed the Google Cybersecurity course and actively working towards obtaining CompTIA Security+, Network+, and CySA+ certifications. My hands-on experience includes managing HomeLab VM, Kali Linux VM, and Honeynet VM, which have honed my technical skills in areas such as log analysis, vulnerability scans, and familiarity with Python.
In my previous roles, I have demonstrated strong organizational and interpersonal skills. As a Showroom Representative at SoFlo Jeeps, I oversaw the showroom floor, maintained inventory control systems, and collaborated with the marketing team. My experience at Diamond Diesel involved performing fuel tank cleansing, scheduling appointments, and handling payments, showcasing my ability to work effectively in diverse environments.
