about me

Aspiring Cybersecurity Analyst and Information Technology student at George Mason University with a strong passion for technology and security. Gained valuable leadership, collaboration, and organizational experience as a Summer Camp Leader with Loudoun County Parks, Recreation, and Community Services (PRCS), a government organization. Eager to apply and expand my technical expertise, I am actively pursuing internships in information technology, cybersecurity, and related fields to develop practical skills and contribute to innovative solutions.

My fascination with technology began in childhood, troubleshooting networks, detecting viruses, and solving tech issues for family and friends. What started as a hobby evolved into a passion for cybersecurity and protecting systems from unseen threats. Now, as an aspiring Cybersecurity Analyst pursuing an IT degree at George Mason University, Iā€™m focused on turning that passion into a career, eager to gain hands-on experience and tackle real-world challenges.
