Welcome to my page! I am an entry-level cybersecurity professional with hands-on training in SOC operations, threat analysis, and system hardening. I hold an active TS/SCI clearance and CompTIA Security+ certification, along with a strong analytical background from my experience as an all-source Intelligence Analyst in the U.S. Army. Through 800+ hours of hands-on cybersecurity training, I’ve developed practical skills in incident response, vulnerability management, and log analysis using tools such as SIEM platforms, Nmap, and Nessus. I’m especially interested in security operations, threat detection, and entry-level IT roles that provide a pathway into cybersecurity. I’m currently seeking opportunities in IT support, SOC analysis, or junior cybersecurity roles where I can contribute, learn, and grow quickly. Thank you for your time and interest!
