My Story
My career in cybersecurity is centered on hands-on IT support, network infrastructure and a problem-solving mindset. From troubleshooting complex issues to working on network systems, I’m building the technical foundation and adaptability needed to secure systems and protect data. My in-person customer-facing roles have strengthened my ability to communicate complex technical concepts in a clear, approachable way — a critical skill in security awareness and incident response.
With early work roles spanning from technology and customer service to analytical detail, I bring both technical skill and human insight to the day-to-day process. As I prepare to graduate, I’m eager to join a forward-thinking cybersecurity team where I can contribute immediately, continue learning from seasoned professionals, and grow into a specialist who not only solves problems but helps prevent them.
