What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my cybersecurity skills while fostering growth and collaboration in a dynamic team environment.

I am a dedicated and passionate cybersecurity professional currently training in digital forensics, eager to apply my expertise in digital investigations and incident response to help organizations protect their data and mitigate security risks. I hold a CompTIA Security+ certification and have experience in cloud security, research, and threat mitigation strategies. To further expand my expertise, I am currently pursuing the Microsoft Security Operations Analyst Associate (SC-200) and AWS Certified Security - Specialty (SCS-C02) certifications.

In my role as a Digital Forensics Trainee at Protexxa Barbados, I focus on data recovery and forensic analysis of compromised systems, assisting in digital evidence collection, preservation, and reporting for cybersecurity incidents. My previous experience as a SharePoint Administrator involved creating and updating content for the SharePoint intranet, ensuring compliance with standards, and enhancing presentations for improved content delivery. I have also conducted research on cloud security strategies, gaining valuable insights into Microsoft Azure security policies and best practices.
