Summary

My background in customer service has taught me the importance of communication, problem-solving, and professionalism—skills I’m eager to bring into cybersecurity and IT environments. Through my coursework and projects, I’ve developed a foundation in programming, data management, and business systems, and I’m excited to keep learning and applying those skills in real-world settings.
