I have completed labs and projects involving tools such as Nmap, Metasploit, Nessus, and pfSense, all of which strengthened my understanding of how cyber threats are identified, exploited, and mitigated in controlled environments. This work has helped me build a solid technical foundation for future roles in cyber operations, incident response, and defensive security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my cybersecurity internship with MEESA, I collaborated with staff and other interns to develop introductory cybersecurity lessons for high school students. This experience taught me how to break down complex technical concepts and explain them clearly for different audiences. Beyond academics, my work experience in logistics, leadership positions, and customer service roles has helped me develop adaptability, patience, time management, and problem-solving skills that support success in cybersecurity environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My long-term career goals include working in cyber operations or intelligence-focused roles and pursuing opportunities to serve the country, potentially through federal pathways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
