About

I’m a creative professional with over 4 years of hands-on experience in graphic design, web design, and frontend web development. I recently transitioned into cybersecurity following a layoff in May 2025. This career shift was a natural progression driven by a long-standing interest in security and problem-solving.

Over the past 10+ months, I completed intensive, hands-on cybersecurity training, earned multiple industry certifications, and successfully passed the CompTIA Security+ exam. I have practical experience analyzing authentication and log events, identifying suspicious activity, detecting vulnerabilities, and supporting incident response through real-world lab environments.

Actively building real-world readiness through continuous lab work, threat-hunting exercises, and SOC simulations. Seeking an entry-level SOC Analyst or IT Security role where I can contribute to a security operations team while continuing to grow technically and professionally.
