About me

I’m a passionate cybersecurity student at Saint Leo University, expected to graduate in January 2030. With a foundation in network security from Wilton Simpson Technical College, I’m focused on developing expertise in threat analysis, incident response, and network defense.

Currently certified in multiple security and technical domains, I combine hands-on lab experience with practical knowledge to solve real-world security challenges. My goal is to become a Network Security Analyst who can identify vulnerabilities, mitigate threats, and design secure infrastructure.
