Summary
Active Security Clearance
As a Motor Transport Operator at US Army, I have been in a position of leadership for the last three years, advising, supervising, and coordinating employees. I instruct and lead a hand live grenade qualification course, where we teach and qualify over 4,000 soldiers every month and ensure their safety. I have also operated and maintained heavy wheeled machinery, complied with state and federal regulations, and secured vehicles and delivered goods.
I am pursuing a BS in Cybersecurity from UMGC, where I am achieving a 3.8 GPA and learned how to use route navigation software, presentation software, and computer systems. I am certified in Security+ ce and in progress of obtaining Linux+ and CySA+. I am passionate about IT and cybersecurity and eager to apply my skills and experience to this field. I believe my military background makes me adaptable, resilient, and disciplined, and my education equips me with the technical knowledge and analytical skills to succeed.
