North Tonawanda, New York, United States
I’m an Information Technology student and aspiring cybersecurity professional with a strong background in IT support, troubleshooting, system administration, and security operations. Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology at the University at Buffalo with a 3.9 GPA, I’ve earned certifications in CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, Google IT Support, Google Data Analytics, and CyberSAFE while continuing to expand my hands-on technical experience. My focus is centered around cybersecurity, security monitoring, and enterprise IT operations. Through personal lab environments and independent projects, I’ve developed practical experience with Windows Server administration, Active Directory, Microsoft Azure, Wazuh SIEM, and virtualized security environments. I built a Home SOC Lab using Windows and Linux virtual machines integrated with Wazuh for centralized log collection, incident monitoring, and threat analysis. I also created an Active Directory lab environment to strengthen my understanding of identity management, user permissions, organizational units, and security policy implementation. In addition to my technical training, I bring years of leadership, communication, and project management experience from roles in construction, equipment operation, and customer-facing service environments. Working under tight deadlines while managing client expectations helped me develop strong problem-solving abilities, adaptability, and the ability to stay calm under pressure.
