What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level cybersecurity or IT role where I can improve vulnerability management, build actionable dashboards and GRC reporting, and collaborate with security teams to reduce risk quickly.

I work at the intersection of cybersecurity assurance and GRC, turning raw findings into clear remediation plans. As a Cyber Security Assurance Intern, I generated 5+ detailed Tenable remediation reports for 100+ critical/high vulnerabilities and partnered with patching teams to remediate 95% of issues within a 30-day SLA.

I build visibility for security teams—custom Tenable dashboards with real-time CVSS scoring and remediation status helped a 12-person security team reduce its vulnerability management cycle time by 10%. I also processed and monitored 20+ daily CVEs, prioritizing by CVSS and identifying additional business-impacting vulnerabilities.

Previously, I supported compliance and risk work by generating weekly ServiceNow GRC reports across 10+ risk categories and authoring 4 Black Kite vulnerability reports for 35+ third-party clients. Beyond security, I’ve built and shipped user-facing software with an ATSC 3.0 interactive TV team, and I’ve led product/brand development as a co-founder and Director of Development while managing end-to-end inventory operations.
