I am an aspiring Cybersecurity Analyst with a strong interest in SOC operations, cloud security, and identity and access management. I have built a solid foundation in network security, threat analysis, and incident response through hands-on projects using tools such as Wireshark, ELK Stack, and Python. I hold the Google Cybersecurity Certificate and CompTIA Security+.
I am currently working as an IT Asset Security & Solutions Representative at Alta-E Solutions, where I combine IT sales, client communication, and secure asset lifecycle support. In this role, I help identify client needs, generate and qualify leads, and position secure IT asset disposition solutions aligned with data destruction and compliance standards such as NIST 800-88.
This experience has strengthened my understanding of enterprise IT infrastructure, secure handling of data-bearing devices, and the business side of cybersecurity. I am passionate about protecting organizations from risk and continuing to grow in security operations, threat detection, and compliance-focused environments.
• Completed an intensive 3-month cybersecurity program sponsored by the Government of Canada in partnership with IBM.
• Gained hands-on experience with SOC operations, SIEM monitoring, threat detection, log analysis, and incident response.
• Developed foundational skills in network monitoring, vulnerability assessment, and attack simulation.
• Generate and qualify leads through outbound outreach (60+ daily calls) targeting IT managers and business stakeholders.
• Identify security risks related to improper IT asset disposal and position compliant solutions aligned with NIST 800-88 data destruction standards.
• Work with enterprise IT equipment including servers, workstations, and networking hardware, gaining exposure to real-world IT infrastructure.
• Support secure IT asset lifecycle processes including intake, tracking, data sanitization, and chain-of-custody documentation.
• Communicate technical concepts (data destruction, compliance, infrastructure risk) to non-technical clients to drive business decisions.
• Collaborate with operations teams to ensure secure handling and processing of data-bearing devices.
Government of Canada-sponsored intensive cybersecurity training in partnership with IBM, including SIEM tools, threat detection, network monitoring, and incident response fundamentals.
