About

Professional summary

I am an Information Technology student pursuing a bachelor's degree in Management Information Systems, with a strong interest in cybersecurity, systems administration, and network security.

I have hands-on academic experience with network reconnaissance, port and service discovery, vulnerability assessment, and introductory ethical hacking techniques. I have worked in both Windows and Linux lab environments.

I am certified in TestOut CyberDefense Pro and TestOut Ethical Hacker Pro, and I am preparing to earn the CompTIA Security+ certification. My technical foundation includes information security, risk assessment, security controls, and familiarity with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.

I have used Nmap, Zenmap, and Metasploit during technical coursework to identify services, assess vulnerabilities, and practice basic exploitation techniques in lab settings. I also have experience configuring and managing services across Windows and Linux environments.

My professional background has strengthened my process discipline, accuracy, safety awareness, teamwork, adaptability, and ability to follow established procedures. I am seeking an entry-level cybersecurity opportunity where I can continue building practical security skills and contribute to a collaborative team.
