Cybersecurity student with hands-on experience in reverse engineering, network analysis, and security program development. Building skills to protect what matters.

GIAC GFACT Top 7% Nationally B.S. Cybersecurity 2027

Who I Am

I'm a cybersecurity student at the University of North Georgia pursuing a B.S. in Cybersecurity, with coursework spanning reverse engineering, computer forensics, database security, and applied cybersecurity. I hold a SANS GIAC GFACT certification and was recognized as a National Cyber Scholar — placing in the top 7% nationally in CyberStart America & Cyber FastTrack.

Beyond the classroom, I've translated skills into real-world impact: developing a client-facing cybersecurity protection program for a confidential financial organization and building full-stack web solutions with modern deployment pipelines. I combine technical depth with strong communication — able to translate complex risk findings into executive-level recommendations.

I'm actively seeking cybersecurity roles where I can contribute to threat detection, security analysis, or defensive operations while continuing to grow.
