What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities to contribute to proactive security teams and grow within the field of cybersecurity.

As a dedicated Security Operations Center (SOC) Analyst, I possess hands-on experience in threat detection, incident response, and cybersecurity monitoring within a highly regulated financial environment. My background in computer science, combined with my strong communication skills, enables me to effectively collaborate with teams and contribute to proactive security measures.

Currently, I serve as a SOC Analyst at SoFi through Provalus, where I monitor and investigate security events, triage alerts, and manage incident response efforts. My work involves utilizing industry-standard tools such as Falcon, Elastic, and Okta to ensure data security and compliance with regulatory standards. I am passionate about defending digital infrastructure and continuously seek opportunities to grow within the field of cybersecurity.
