Cybersecurity Analyst | Blue Team | SOC & Incident Response
//
I've spent the last year monitoring real threats in a live SOC environment, studying how attackers think, and building the tools to stop them. I graduate in December 2026 — and I'm ready.
I'm a Cyber Forensics & Security student at Marshall University carrying a 4.0 GPA across five semesters on the President's List. Last summer I interned at Wesbanco Bank's information security team, where I worked hands-on with SIEM platforms, EDR tools, and NIST SP 800-53 compliance reviews. I also helped run a phishing simulation campaign and built SOPs from real incident response workflows.
I hold the ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) credential and I'm actively pursuing Security+ and Network+. My focus is Blue Team operations — log analysis, threat detection, and incident response — with the goal of joining a SOC or IR team where I can keep learning fast and contribute immediately.
