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 Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate
and gaining hands-on experience with core security tools like SIEM and Wireshark.
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 working in security. This experience also gave
me a better understanding of the complexities of a real-world challenge.
While I possess technical skills, my greatest
asset is my unwavering discipline and procedural adherence.
My time in the Army National Guard instilled in me
invaluable discipline, teamwork, problem-solving skills and a
resilient work ethic, 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.
Beyond my professional pursuits, 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.
