Passionate about cybersecurity with a focus on penetration testing, red team operations, and scripting for automation, this student at Wentworth Institute of Technology is building both technical and leadership skills that extend beyond the classroom. A curiosity for how systems work and how vulnerabilities can be identified and secured inspired the choice to study cybersecurity with a minor in computer science. That curiosity has grown into a career goal of becoming a penetration tester, combining problem-solving, creativity, and technical expertise to strengthen defenses. Hands-on labs in Windows Server 2022, Kali Linux, and Metasploitable have provided experience configuring DHCP and DNS, deploying Active Directory Domain Services, setting up NAT and firewall rules, and working with IPv6. Offensive security exercises included scanning with Nikto and password testing with Hydra, reinforcing an interest in exploitation techniques. Coursework in Java and C led to the design of a full Texas Hold ’Em simulator, demonstrating the ability to build and collaborate on complex software. Bash and PowerShell scripting have become tools of choice for automating system administration and security tasks. Technical skills include Java, C, HTML, CSS, Bash scripting, PowerShell scripting, Windows Server, Kali Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Arch Linux, macOS, Wireshark, Nmap, Cisco Packet Tracer, Nikto, and Hydra. These skills are matched by leadership and teamwork developed through athletics and entrepreneurship. Years as a varsity baseball player, including involvement in the Student Athlete Advisory Committee, built discipline and communication under pressure. Running a barber business added experience in scheduling, customer service, and reliability, all directly transferable to professional environments. Thriving in settings where collaboration and problem-solving are valued, this individual is eager to contribute to teams focused on offensive security, vulnerability assessment, and network defense. The long-term vision is to specialize as a penetration tester within a red team, helping organizations identify weaknesses before they are exploited. With a blend of technical expertise, leadership experience, and the ability to balance multiple commitments, this candidate is prepared for internships and entry-level cybersecurity roles that demand both skill and resilience.
