About
I earned my Associate of Science degree in Information Technology from Full Sail University, where I developed a strong foundation in networking, operating systems, databases, and system administration. The program included hands-on experience with hardware, software troubleshooting, cloud infrastructure, and scripting fundamentals. It prepared me for real-world IT environments and built the core technical skills that I later expanded upon in my Bachelor's studies in Cybersecurity. This degree represents the launchpad for my career in information technology and my continued pursuit of excellence in the cybersecurity field.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
Ethical Hacker | Web Application & API Pentester | Network Penetration Tester
My intended career path is in ethical hacking, with a strong focus on web application security, API exploitation, and network penetration testing. I specialize in identifying and exploiting real-world vulnerabilities such as XSS, SQL injection, authentication bypass, IDOR, SSRF, and open redirects across various platforms. I use advanced tooling like Burp Suite Pro, ffuf, sqlmap, and subdomain enumeration tools like Subfinder and Amass. I also create tailored wordlists and conduct full recon workflows to uncover hidden endpoints, broken access controls, and misconfigured APIs. My penetration testing skills span both black-box and authenticated testing, and I’m continuously practicing through platforms like HackerOne, TryHackMe, and Hack The Box. I’m passionate about defending systems through offensive security, helping organizations stay ahead of attackers by exposing vulnerabilities before adversaries can exploit them.
- Graduate school interests
Full Sail Cybersecurity Master’s Track – Cybersecurity Analyst & GRC Specialization
I am highly interested in continuing my education through Full Sail University's Cybersecurity graduate program, with a focus on Cybersecurity Analysis, Threat Intelligence, and GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance). My academic and hands-on experience has given me a deep appreciation for the need to align security with business strategy. I aim to develop advanced skills in managing security operations centers (SOCs), conducting incident response, and implementing policy-based risk management frameworks like NIST and ISO 27001. I am equally interested in the human and legal sides of cybersecurity, including compliance audits, internal security governance, and third-party risk. This graduate path will not only allow me to sharpen my analytical capabilities, but also position me as a security leader who can bridge the gap between technical controls and organizational requirements.
- Outside the classroom
In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer, which helps me stay active, focused, and develop teamwork skills. I’m also deeply passionate about ethical hacking, where I spend time exploring web applications, APIs, and networks to discover vulnerabilities in a legal and responsible manner. Whether it’s solving Capture the Flag (CTF) challenges or participating in bug bounty programs, I treat cybersecurity as both a career and a hobby that constantly pushes me to learn and grow.
