I'm a passionate and driven cybersecurity student currently pursuing my degree at WGU (Western Governors University). With a strong interest in the ever-evolving field of cybersecurity, I am seeking a challenging cybersecurity internship where I can utilize my passion for cybersecurity and gain practical experience in safeguarding digital assets and preventing cyber threats. My educational background has equipped me with a solid foundation in the principles and practices of cybersecurity. Additionally, I have developed a strong understanding of industry policies, standards, procedures, guidelines, and cybersecurity frameworks such as ISO/IEC 27001, NIST SP800-53, and PCI DDS. What sets me apart is my strong commitment to continuous learning and my ability to adapt quickly to new environments. I have a strong understanding in computer hardware, operating systems, and networks. In addition to this, I excel in being analytical and dissecting large amounts of data to extract meaningful information. I possess excellent communication skills, allowing me to effectively collaborate with teams and convey complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
