What I'm looking for

I am looking for an entry-level cybersecurity role where I can apply my skills and grow within a supportive team environment, focusing on security best practices and continuous learning.

I am a self-driven and adaptable professional transitioning into the cybersecurity field, equipped with industry-recognized certifications including CompTIA Security+, Network+, and CySA+. With over 400 hours of immersive hands-on training in network defense, incident response, and system hardening through MyComputerCareer, I am eager to contribute to a security-conscious team in an entry-level cybersecurity role.

My background includes logistics and small business ownership, where I honed my problem-solving skills and ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. I have a proven track record of operating independently and managing client relationships, which I believe will be invaluable in my new career path. I am particularly skilled in SIEM tools, TCP/IP protocols, and firewall configuration, and I am committed to continuous learning and growth in the cybersecurity domain.
