About
Skilled Cyber Security Analyst with 5+ years of experience in Information Security. I help companies responds to threats, develop their Security Operating Procedures (SOP), and build out their Security Operations Centers (SOC).
Some examples of my results include:
* Developing an onboarding and training program for SOC interns
* Understanding of networking concepts & protocols (TCP/IP, UDP, DNS, DHCP, HTTP, etc)
* Analysis of phishing emails including header, file, and URL analysis.
I get excited about opportunities where I can expand my skillset and use my experience as a SOC analyst to provide insight for cyber security engineers and team leads.
One fun fact about me: I love to dance! I studied ballet and pointe for several years and it has taught me many things. 1) Enjoy yourself and go with the flow. 2) Appreciate constructive criticism. Those teaching you want you to be your best and are looking out for you. 3) How you carry yourself effects how others see you. These are just a few lessons that have carried over into so many other areas of my life.
