As a highly skilled cybersecurity professional with a Master of Science in Digital Forensics and CFCE certification, I specialize in incident response and digital forensics. I have a proven ability to analyze intrusions, identify root causes, and guide clients through the complete incident response lifecycle. I'm adept at leveraging tools like EnCase, Forensic Toolkit, and X-Ways to conduct thorough investigations and implement effective remediation strategies. My experience includes managing and upgrading client network systems, including Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) and other Cisco devices. Currently, I am pursuing the CompTIA Security+ certification to further solidify my foundational cybersecurity knowledge. My excellent communication and client-facing skills, combined with strong problem-solving, critical thinking, and attention to detail, ensure clear interaction with stakeholders and contribute to effective solutions.

My professional journey began with a Digital Forensics Internship at the Seminole County Sheriff's Office (2021), where I developed foundational skills in digital evidence analysis and data recovery. During this time, I shadowed detectives, utilized tools such as EnCase and X-Ways, and gained practical experience in phone unlocks and chip-off forensics.   

Building upon this foundation, I advanced into a Cybersecurity Consultant/NOC Engineer role at United Data Technologies (2021-2024). In this capacity, I led post-incident forensic examinations, conducted security control analysis to identify vulnerabilities, and managed/upgraded client network systems, including CUCM and Cisco devices. I collaborated directly with clients to communicate security findings and implement effective remediation plans.

My educational background includes a Master of Science in Digital Forensics from the University of Central Florida, completed in 2021. Prior to this, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, also from the University of Central Florida in 2020, with a minor in Mathematics.
