Quickstart Cybersecurity Program
Sep. 2022 - Mar. 2023
I learned everything from OS and Networking, to Cybersecurity analyst roles and duties, penetration testing, incident response, and disaster recovery.
I am hoping to get hired by a company that I can learn and grow with, so I can be a valuable asset and contribute to the security of the organization and customers.
Please visit my project website and LinkedIn. I am CompTIA Security+ certified and I am looking to get more certifications.
I have detailed write ups and videos of all the projects I completed. https://www.linkedin.com/in/cybercf https://www.ctfitz13.wixsite.com/cybercf.

About
I got interested on cybersecurity by listening to cybersecurity podcasts. I love learning about current threats and trends, and how they are dealt with.
The more I listened, the more intrigued I became. I did research, and continued to listen, and found out that getting into the field is more realistic than I thought.
I started school in March of 2022. I did a program called Quickstart, via The University of Texas at Arlington. Here I learned everything from networking and OS fundamentals, to blue team assessments and procedures.
I also learned and performend Red Team engagements, which is my favorite, as well as incident response, which I also enjoy.
I made an account on Hack The Box, and started doing every box I could, including all the Starting Point boxes.
I have an at home virtual lab, that I use for all my projects, to help build my skills. I made videos of the presentaions, they are on my Linkedin and personal website.
I recently got my CompTIA Security+ certification, and I am now confident in my abilities, and I am looking for my first job in cybersecurity.
