About
As an Information Security Analyst, I have valuable knowledge in conducting vulnerability assessments and implementing security policies and procedures, using tools such as Qradar currently learning with SEIM Splunk.
My dedication to cybersecurity stems from a genuine passion for the subject. I am constantly updating my skills and knowledge to stay ahead of emerging threats and evolving tactics. I am also pursuing certifications from (ISC)² and Coursera to enhance my competencies in security principles and cyber threat intelligence. I hold an Associate of Arts in Computer Programming from the University of Phoenix, which gives me a solid foundation in coding and logic.
I am eager to join a team that values collaboration, innovation, and excellence in cybersecurity. I am confident that I can contribute to your organization's security goals and objectives, by applying my skills, experience, and passion. I am also open to learning new technologies and methodologies, and to sharing my insights and best practices with others.
