About

Who I Am

I'm a cybersecurity professional completing my B.S. in Cybersecurity at Purdue University (May 2026), with a minor in Forensic Science. My work sits at the intersection of security operations, threat analysis, and compliance.

Over two internships in 2025, I worked in real production environments — triaging endpoint alerts, investigating phishing campaigns, building SIEM pipelines, and supporting FedRAMP and SOC 2 audits. I'm comfortable with ambiguity, fast-paced environments, and communicating findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

I'm currently seeking full-time cybersecurity roles starting summer 2026, with interest in SOC analyst, security engineer, and cyber analyst positions.
