Application Cybersecurity Engineer & Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC)

I am deeply interested in pursuing graduate studies in Cybersecurity Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) or Information Assurance. My goal is to deepen my understanding of how organizations can proactively manage cyber risks, ensure regulatory compliance, and build resilient security frameworks.
I’m particularly drawn to programs that emphasize:
• Advanced risk management strategies
• Cyber law and policy
• Security auditing and compliance frameworks (e.g., NIST, ISO, HIPAA)
• Threat intelligence and incident response
• Research in emerging technologies like AI in cybersecurity
Graduate school will allow me to build on my hands-on experience and certifications, while contributing to research and innovation in the cybersecurity field. I’m also interested in interdisciplinary programs that combine technical expertise with business, law, or public policy.

Cybersecurity Challenges & Competitions: I enjoy participating in capture-the-flag (CTF) events and cybersecurity competitions like the National Cyber League and CCDC, where I can apply my skills in real-world scenarios.
Tech Workshops & Mentorship: I’m passionate about learning and sharing knowledge through hands-on workshops, especially in areas like UNIX, Kali Linux, and ethical hacking.
Community Engagement: I take pride in mentoring peers and engaging with student clubs, helping others navigate their academic and technical journeys.
Problem Solving & Simulation: I enjoy building threat simulations and conducting penetration testing to explore vulnerabilities and improve system defenses.
Space & Science Exploration: My participation in NASA’s L'SPACE program reflects my curiosity about space, science, and interdisciplinary innovation.
