Motivated security professional transitioning into cybersecurity.
What I'm looking for
As a motivated security professional with a B.A. in Homeland Security and Cybersecurity, I am transitioning into the field of cybersecurity. My foundational training encompasses threat landscapes, risk assessment, and information security, which equips me with the skills necessary to identify and respond to real-world threats effectively. I have proven experience in high-pressure environments, particularly through my role as a Supervisor for Explosives Detection Canine Handler at AMK9, where I led threat mitigation operations in TSA-regulated environments.
My analytical thinking and pattern recognition abilities have allowed me to detect anomalies and assess threats accurately. I have collaborated with various agencies, including TSA and law enforcement, to share intelligence and manage incidents effectively. Additionally, I have authored detailed incident reports and briefings, ensuring timely communication of threats to leadership and interagency partners. I am currently self-studying cybersecurity principles and preparing for entry-level certifications, eager to apply my security-first mindset within a collaborative, mission-driven cybersecurity team.
