about me

Aspiring Cybersecurity Analyst studying IT at George Mason University, Google Cybersecurity Certified. Passionate about tech and security, looking for internships to gain hands-on experience and grow my skills.

I've been into tech since I was a kid. I was always into fixing computers, helping friends and family with their tech problems, and messing around with my home network just to see how things work. I used to run little experiments like slowing down the network on purpose or testing how systems react under pressure. That curiosity eventually turned into a real passion for cybersecurity, and now I'm working toward helping protect systems from online threats.

Both of these classes gave me hands-on experience with labs and learned topics such as responding to cyber incidents, brute force attacks, and overall just understanding how different security tools and practices are applied in real world scenarios.
