About Me:

      A graduate of FSCJ with an Associate in Science in Computer Information Technology, I am actively seeking to launch my career as an entry-level Cybersecurity Analyst. I have built a robust technical base, solidified by earning the CompTIA Security+ and Google Cybersecurity Professional Certifications. My technical toolkit includes hands-on experience with Linux, SQL, and Python, as well as industry-standard security platforms. A highlight of my practical experience was an internship at FSCJ, where I engineered and deployed a complex private classroom network. This project equipped me with vital skills in network infrastructure design, Linux administration (including secure remote access via SSH and access control policies), and systematic troubleshooting, which are foundational competencies for modern security operations. This experience also gave me a better understanding of the complexities of a real-world challenge.

      Beyond technical skills, my greatest asset is my unwavering discipline and procedural adherence. My service in the Army National Guard instilled in me invaluable discipline, teamwork, and problem-solving skills, all essential for handling sensitive security tasks. My professional journey further refined these qualities through roles like Junior Home Inspector (systematic risk identification and reporting) and 5S Assistant Manager at Discount Tire (process standardization and operational efficiency). I am eager to apply this analytical rigor and resilient work ethic to protecting systems and data.

      Outside of the technical world, I find enjoyment in active hobbies like hiking, motorbiking, and participating in Spartan races, which speak to my resilience and determination. I also appreciate the creative and strategic aspects of video and board games, and love exploring new places through travel, especially after an unforgettable honeymoon in Japan. These interests, alongside a strong dedication to my family and friends, define who I am.
