Driven by a deep commitment to cybersecurity and a passion for solving complex digital challenges, I specialize in safeguarding systems, responding to incidents, and identifying vulnerabilities before they escalate into risks. My experience spans cybersecurity operations, network defense, and access management, underpinned by an analytical mindset and a solutions-oriented approach.
Currently completing a Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance at Western Governors University, I am further enhancing my expertise through advanced certifications in Microsoft Security Engineering and CyberArk Privileged Access Management. These pursuits reflect an ongoing dedication to mastering both the technical and strategic dimensions of enterprise security.
With a career focus on vulnerability management and identity access management, I strive to strengthen organizational resilience and align security frameworks with evolving technology landscapes. Each challenge presents an opportunity to innovate, adapt, and defend the integrity of digital ecosystems.
