Eagle Scout (Silver Palm &#8211; Advanced Leadership Distinction). Demonstrated leadership and supervisory roles. Proven to perform in high-pressure, team-oriented environments. Focused on national security and cyber defense leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My academic training includes <strong>Cybersecurity, Windows System Management, Linux Systems for Cybersecurity, Technology &amp; Society, Ethics, Criminology, Marketing, and STEM Communications.<\/strong> I am pursuing a <strong>Certificate in Psychology<\/strong> that not only allows me to know how systems are secured, policy, communication, and business strategy influences, but also to analyze human-centric threats (insider risks, social engineering, and behavioral analysis).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a <strong>Cannon Crewmember in the Virginia Army National Guard<\/strong>, I execute artillery missions in coordinated team environments, perform inspections and maintenance to ensure system reliability, operate under high-pressure training conditions with precision and discipline, adhere to strict safety protocols during live-fire exercises, support unit performance in training and field environments, and was promoted to Private First Class within the first year of service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through <strong>ROTC Military training<\/strong>, I participate in leadership development, decision-making, discipline, accountability, operational leadership skills, tactical training, military instruction, and team leadership under pressure, aligned with defense and national security missions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through my <strong>Studio Art Photography minor<\/strong>, I strengthen visual communication, digital literacy, and analytical observation; skills applicable to documentation, OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) analysis, and technical reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond academics, I have served as a <strong>Snowboard Instructor and Lifeguard<\/strong>, roles requiring real-time risk assessment, clear communication, and accountability for safety under dynamic conditions. These experiences sharpened my ability to lead, instruct, and make decisions under pressure; skills directly transferable to cybersecurity operations and military leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I bring a mission-ready mindset supported by technical foundations, ethical awareness, and proven leadership under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Core Competencies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Cybersecurity &amp; System Administration (Windows\/Linux)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Security Policy &amp; Technology &#8211; Society Analysis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ethical &amp; Legal Risk Evaluation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cybercrime &amp; Criminology Insight<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Risk management and threat analysis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Military Leadership &amp; Team Operations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strategic &amp; STEM Communication<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visual &amp; Digital Media Literacy (Photography Minor)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am a Computer Science\/Cybersecurity student at Old Dominion University and Army ROTC Cadet, serving in the Virginia Army National Guard.
