JACQUESE BARRETT
Presque Isle
Summary
CCNA-certified cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience in SIEM, incident response fundamentals, and network security, currently completing an associate degree at NMCC and pursuing a bachelor’s in Cybersecurity at USM. I have practical skills in log analysis, basic threat hunting, and applying frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK to understand adversary behavior, along with experience building security-focused projects such as an AES-based encryption/decryption web application.
My interests span SOC operations and red teaming, from monitoring alerts and triaging security events to studying offensive techniques and how attackers abuse networks, identities, and misconfigurations. Through 500+ hours of volunteer leadership and ongoing lab work, I bring a disciplined, service-oriented mindset and a long-term goal of serving in a military cyber role to help defend critical systems and missions.
