About

I'm a driven CSIS student at John Jay College with a strong foundation in cybersecurity, ethical hacking, and web development. With hands-on training from the NSA GenCyber program, Army National Guard cyber exercises, and leadership roles in the Civil Air Patrol, I aim to combine technical skill and strategic thinking to protect digital infrastructure and support national security.
